As you plan your wedding, there could come a point when your partner asks you to sign a prenuptial agreement. While many people see this coming, others are caught off guard and unsure of what to do next.

If your partner asks you to sign a prenuptial agreement, there are a few key steps you need to take. It all starts with answering the following questions:

  • What is a prenuptial agreement and how will it impact me now and in the future?
  • Has your partner already created the prenuptial agreement, or is he or she willing to work with you to do this?
  • What is the best way to agree on the terms that are outlined in the prenuptial agreement?
  • What steps should you take if you run into an issue negotiating the terms of a prenuptial agreement?
  • What will you do if you begin to feel pressure from your partner to sign the prenuptial agreement?
  • Does agreeing to a prenuptial agreement mean that your marriage is doomed from the start?

Just because your partner asks for a prenuptial agreement doesn’t mean that he or she loves you any less. It simply means that he or she has some concerns about what will happen should you divorce in the future.

You should never feel pressured to sign a prenuptial agreement. Instead, if this comes to light, you should discuss the details with your partner to learn more about his or her mindset. From there, make sure you understand your legal rights so that you can make informed decisions in the future.
