What is a Postnuptial Agreement?

A postnuptial agreement, also known as a "prenup," is a contract that outlines the division of assets, spousal support, and other financial matters should the marriage end in divorce.

Postnuptial agreements are most often used when one or both spouses have significant assets and/or debts and wish to plan for the possibility of divorce.

Attorney Myres has extensive experience in drafting and negotiating postnuptial agreements and can help you plan for the future.

What Does a Postnuptial Agreement Cover?

A postnuptial agreement can cover a wide range of topics. Some of the more common topics include:

  • Spousal support
  • Division of assets
  • Debts
  • Possession of the marital home
  • Spouses' rights to work
  • Childcare and other issues

Legal Criteria for Postnuptial Agreements in Texas

In Texas, a postnuptial agreement is enforceable if it is fair and reasonable at the time it was executed.

Courts will consider the following factors in determining reasonableness:

  • Whether the agreement was obtained through fraud or coercion
  • Whether both parties received independent legal advice prior to execution
  • Whether the agreement was fairly negotiated
  • Whether the agreement is in writing
  • Whether the agreement is specific as to the division of property
  • Whether the parties' conduct since the execution of the agreement has been consistent with the agreement

The Texas Family Code has additional requirements for postnuptial agreements, including requirements for the consideration of children and requirements for the execution of the agreement in front of a notary.
