So the big question is whether you need a prenuptial agreement. Let's first start with the couple just starting out. You both have jobs, no money and great expectations. The answer is yes, because no one can predict the future. One or both may and probably will change jobs for the better. That means more money, assets, debts, and division of property.

If you have a good paying job and starting to accumulate assets or been previously married a prenuptial is a good idea so everyone knows if this new partnership does not work there is some method to untangle the financial web you have created during the marriage.

If you have children from a prior marriage a prenuptial is a good idea to protect your assets so you can pass them on to your kids.

You should both have the agreement reviewed by an attorney. It insures that each of you understands the contract you are entering into and the court is more likely to enforce an agreement where both parties had legal representation.
