A North Carolina Prenuptial Agreement is a legally enforceable document negotiated and signed by the engaged partners prior to marriage.
Alternate Names:
A contract beneficial for both spouses, their children, and potential heirs, this instrument is essential if you want to protect your finances and decide on crucial matters even before you and your partner are married. Since the clauses of the agreement are determined by the couple, you may include any provisions you consider important for your relationship - for example, you may indicate your obligation to take care of the household and the kids while the other spouse earns money and provides for you and your family.

Usually, the soon-to-be-spouses record the suitable distribution of property and income, confirm who bears responsibility for the debts incurred by one of them, refer to the inheritance rights of the children they had together and other family members, determine the correct management of funds and contributions to expenses and savings, and elaborate on the alimony and child support one of the partners and the kids respectively will be entitled to - in some instances, even before the divorce. The parties to the contract are supposed to visit a notary public to acknowledge their wish to be bound by the conditions they put in writing - do not sign the paperwork before your appointment.
