选择在结婚前签署婚前协议的人比以往任何时候都多. Once thought to be an option only for the very wealthy, 婚前协议现在被认为对所有收入水平的人都有好处. 当涉及到分开两个人的生活时，离婚通常是一个复杂的过程. If there are children in the marriage, divorce can be even more challenging. By creating a prenuptial agreement, 你可以为婚姻结束后的情况制定一个财务计划.

UNDERSTANDING PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENTS
婚前协议是未来夫妻双方在结婚前签署的一份合同. 婚前协议规定了如果夫妻离婚，债务和婚姻财产将如何分配. Typically, 婚前协议列出了双方带入婚姻的所有资产和债务. When you create a prenuptial agreement, you and your future spouse are largely in control of the agreement, with some exceptions.
孩子的抚养和监护权问题通常是离婚过程中最具争议的问题. 你不能包括关于孩子抚养费或孩子监护权问题的条款，除非这些条款是关于提供比法院命令一方支付的更多的孩子抚养费. 你将能够为你孩子的大学教育提供资金, or your plans to provide for an adult child who has special needs.
PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENTS AND THE LAW
该法律规定了婚前协议有效的一些基本法律要求:
- Both parties must be mentally competent enough to consent to the agreement.
- Both parties must consent to the agreement.
- 如果婚前协议是建立在欺诈或错误的基础上的，法院可以裁定该协议无效.
- When one spouse is not a native English speaker, the agreement must be translated into that individual’s native language.
- Both parties need to have their own legal representation. They can waive their right to counsel, 但前提是他们完全明白放弃律师的潜在负面影响.
- 婚前协议遵守合同法的所有基本规则. 如果婚前协议没有法律效力，就不能强制执行.
- The prenuptial agreement cannot be “unconscionable,” meaning one party does not have unequal bargaining power. 此外，合同不能合理地偏袒一方而不顾另一方.
- 《亚博网赌买球靠谱的》第1615(c)条规定，从一方第一次提交最终协议并被建议寻求法律顾问的时间起，必须经过7个日历天, and the time the agreement is signed. This means you will want to plan ahead if you are engaged! 一定要提前开始起草婚前协议. 你要避免的情况是，婚礼不到7天就要举行了，而此时签订婚前协议已经太晚了.
COMMUNITY PROPERTY AND PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENTS
In a community property state, when a couple does not have a prenuptial agreement, 夫妻双方离婚后各自保留婚前所有的财产. This type of property is called separate property. 夫妻双方在婚姻生活中共同拥有的财产将被平均分配. 婚前协议允许夫妻“改变规则”，选择离婚后如何分配财产.
For example, a couple can agree that one spouse will keep the entire house, and the other spouse will keep all the assets in the retirement account. Typically, a court would divide up those assets among the spouses. 婚前协议允许你将夫妻共同财产视为单独财产或将单独财产视为夫妻共同财产. 你也可以选择放弃或改变你的继承权，只要你的未成年子女不会受到负面影响.
BENEFITS OF SIGNING A PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENT
签署婚前协议最好的方面之一是它能保护你的财产. If you have already accumulated significant separate personal property, you may want to ensure that you keep that property after a divorce. 你可以在婚前协议中明确规定每个人将拥有哪些财产. 这可以帮助你在未来避免昂贵和有争议的离婚诉讼.
婚前协议还可以让你指定哪些债务属于哪个合伙人. If your partner currently has significant debts, 如果有一天你们分开了，这可以防止你需要承担这些财务责任.
婚前协议也可以为你和你的配偶节省大量的压力. 虽然似乎很难在订婚期间讨论未来可能的分离, 现在讨论这些问题可以避免你以后的情绪波动. 而不是担心离婚后你的财务状况会发生什么, 你可以放心，知道你有一个公平和完整的计划，你的资产将发生什么. A prenuptial agreement can help you avoid divorce litigation, making the process of ending a marriage much less stressful and expensive.
Finally, when two spouses have different financial backgrounds, a prenuptial agreement allows one spouse to keep their assets. For example, if one spouse is part of a successful family business, 他们可以通过婚前协议来保护自己在家族企业中的利益.
