A Washington Prenuptial Agreement is a formal contract that describes the reciprocal rights and obligations of a married couple.
Alternate Names:
Signed before the marriage, this instrument is essential if you are looking for the surest way to safeguard your personal interests and assets - in case you face challenges during your marriage, you will have an opportunity to refer to a set of rules you have prepared in a calm state of mind for the benefit of both spouses whether you are determining the financial support for your kids or sharing household duties.

Note that you should consider a prenup even if neither of you is particularly wealthy, a business owner, or you plan to remain childless - circumstances may change, and it is important to know how you will handle issues in the future. You will be able to disclose your assets, explain how the earnings of both spouses are supposed to be divided, elaborate on the financial assistance for the children before and after a potential separation, specify the reasons for divorce that make the contractual conditions invalid, and include a confidentiality clause in case you want to keep your marital problems private. Sign the papers before a notary public so that your intentions and the authenticity of the document are not challenged later on.
