• What Is a Premarital Agreement?

  Also known as a prenuptial agreement throughout Northern Virginia, premarital agreements are documents protecting separate properties (between you and your fiancé) in the event of a future divorce.

  Any property brought into your marriage is considered separate under Virginia law in the event of divorce. A premarital agreement can ensure your property remains yours after a divorce, as well as guarantee that any income or assets accumulated during the marriage will ever become marital property, or that no spousal support (alimony) will be owed after a divorce.
