Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements in Indiana

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can provide clarity and security for couples by defining how assets, debts, and other financial matters will be handled in the event of divorce or separation. While these agreements are often associated with protecting individual wealth, they also minimize conflicts and streamline divorce proceedings, ensuring a smoother process for both parties.

A prenuptial agreement, or “prenup,” is created before marriage and outlines how assets and liabilities will be divided if the marriage ends. In Indiana, prenuptial agreements are legally enforceable as long as they meet specific requirements, including full disclosure of assets and being entered into voluntarily by both parties.

A postnuptial agreement, or “postnup,” is created after marriage and can address similar issues, such as property division and spousal support. These agreements are often used when significant life events occur, such as starting a business, receiving a large inheritance, or addressing marital disputes. Like prenups, postnups must be fair, voluntarily agreed upon, and adhere to Indiana’s legal standards to be enforceable.
