Helping Couples Build a Strong Foundation
Marital agreements are legal contracts that establish rights and responsibilities between spouses or future spouses. These agreements commonly include prenuptial agreements, which are entered into before marriage, and postnuptial agreements, which are created after a couple is already married. Depending on the circumstances, marital agreements may address property ownership, debt allocation, business interests, inheritances, financial obligations, and other important matters.
Many couples choose to enter into marital agreements to protect assets acquired before marriage, preserve family businesses, safeguard inheritances, or clarify financial expectations. Others simply want to create greater transparency regarding financial matters and avoid future misunderstandings. Regardless of the reason, a properly drafted agreement can provide valuable certainty and help couples make informed decisions about their future.
Maryland courts generally recognize marital agreements when they are entered into voluntarily, supported by appropriate financial disclosure, and comply with applicable legal requirements. Because these agreements can have significant legal and financial consequences, it is important to ensure that they are carefully prepared and tailored to the specific needs of the parties involved.
