Wedding season is upon us and many couples are blissfully walking down
the aisle! All of these couples will be walking down the aisle with love
in their hearts and visions of forever!
But as a divorce attorney/mediator for over 35 years, sadly I know half
of these marriages won’t last.
Life has an ugly habit of getting in the way even for couples madly in
love and with the best of intentions.
If you are thinking about divorce, but you’re not quite ready to
give up on your love and marriage, a postnuptial agreement might just
be the remedy to save your marriage!
Postnuptial agreements are executed after you are married and address issues
that need definition and discussion. The marriage remains in effect.
If you feel your marriage is at risk, here are my 4 Tips for using a postnuptial
agreement to give your marriage another chance!

1.) Communication:
Sometimes, marital unrest stems from lack of communication. Considering
a postnuptial agreement forces a couple to discuss some of the uncomfortable
issues not being addressed in the marriage like household duties, debts,
spending habits, assets & infidelity.
2.) Finances & Debt:
Financial stress can derail the best of marriages. If you and your spouse
have different spending habits, a postnuptial agreement can address this
issue. This is an opportunity to discuss handling finances and debts especially
if a divorce were to occur. Discussing how finances will be handled and
how debt will be repaid should a divorce occur can take a lot of pressure
off a marriage.
3.) Handling a Business:
Some couples go into business together or invest in a business together.
If the marriage is to end, spouses will need to figure out how they will
move forward with their business relationship and/or how the business
with be handled. If one party has a business, it may need to be evaluated.
4.) Lifestyle Clauses:
Sometimes a marriage can be at risk because of
infidelity or other morally questionable behaviors. A couple trying to
heal from infidelity
can include in their postnuptial agreement a “lifestyle clause”
which imposes some type of penalty should infidelity occur again. Penalties
could include financial compensation, or an agreement to attend counseling.
Only you truly know about your marriage. The two of you are in the best
position to decide when divorce is right for you. But if your love prevails
and saving your marriage is a priority, a postnuptial agreement may be
a great alternative to divorce. This is the perfect vehicle to give your
marriage another chance!
