Maryland Postnuptial Agreement: What Is It?

A Maryland Postnuptial Agreement is a legal contract that is made between two individuals that are married to each other. This point is rather significant as such contracts are strictly signed by couples that are married - it cannot be used by individuals that are not in marriage.

The main purpose for creating the agreement in the first place is so that if there is an unanticipated change in one of the spouse's financial circumstances, any properties that were acquired will need to be shared. Details on how many properties are shared are all described in the agreement. It provides the spouse with certainty, as they will know the fate of a property in case one of the spouses dies or files for a divorce.

By looking at the agreement, a judge will know straight away how to delegate any given property. Take into account the following advice:

• The contract can include details about alimony, child support in addition to information about property;
• The agreement should be signed voluntarily;
• If there is a previous valid agreement, you must prove invalidity of that document.
