FAQs
What’s the difference between a prenup and a postnup?
A prenuptial agreement is signed before marriage; a postnuptial agreement is signed after. Both serve similar purposes in defining property and financial terms.
Are these agreements only for the wealthy?
Not at all. Any couple can benefit from clarifying how finances, debt, and property will be handled during and after marriage.
Can we include child custody or support in the agreement?
No. North Carolina does not allow child-related decisions to be finalized in a prenup or postnup—they must be decided based on the child’s best interest at the time of separation.
What makes an agreement valid?
Full financial disclosure, voluntary signing, and fair, clear terms are key to enforceability. Each party should also have separate legal representation.
