Many couples are now entering into agreements after marriage to clarify their intentions, or when life circumstances change. Like a prenup, a couple can opt out or override state marital laws with a postnuptial agreement and create their own financial contract. These agreements are an excellent way to provide security and clarity to a couple who intend to remain in an viable marriage, and at the same time, ensure an inevitable divorce is less costly and less divisive.
