ARENT JUST FOR THE RICH AND FAMOUS

Prenuptial agreements arent just for the rich and famous anymore," says Cecile C. Weich, New York matrimonial lawyer, and should be seriously considered by couples contemplating marriage. The prenuptial agreement should be carefully crafted to ensure that the arrangement is fair for both parties." A prenuptial agreement is an agreement between two people, and generally settles financial matters in advance in the event of death or divorce. Lifestyle or non-financial topics also might be covered.

"The average soon to be newly-weds should consider a prenuptial agreement," says Ms Weich, however, it may be more appropriate for an older couple that has accumulated significant assets that could potentially be lost in the unfortunate event of a divorce." Weich recommends prenuptial agreements for older couples getting married who have worked for a long time and have built up substantial assets where there are children to protect."

Essential tips for prenuptial agreements:
 Each partner should get a full disclosure of the intendeds assets and net worth. It is important that you have an accurate picture of your future spouses financial profile.
 Get your own lawyer, not one recommended by your fiancé. To realistically consider the terms of the pre-nuptial agreement, your attorney should act in your own best interest at every point of the negotiations.

Every couple planning to marry should consider a prenuptial agreement, especially the following:
