Protecting Your Assets with a Prenuptial Agreement
Montgomery ▪ Chester ▪ Delaware ▪ Bucks ▪ Philadelphia Counties
A premarital, antenuptial or prenuptial agreement is a legal document signed and agreed upon before legally entering into marriage. Cohabitation agreements, or combination Cohabitation/Prenuptial agreements, work in similar ways if you are not married or you are living together and planning to marry.
These agreements are not necessary in order to get married, but they can be a strong safeguard against future financial and lifestyle losses should the marriage end in divorce.
At our experienced family Law Offices of Sheryl R. Rentz in suburban Philadelphia, we know what can happen to a couple’s finances and property should the relationship end, thanks to a prenuptial agreement.

Quality Attention to Your Unique Premarital Agreement Problems
When drafting premarital agreements, we spell out full disclosures on assets, debts and earnings of both parties. All earnings and property holdings must be disclosed in these types of agreements. We also project as to how property will be divided if the relationship ends, and we are careful to include how any property made, bought or sold during the relationship will be divided.
We can also add mention of any future earnings, alimony, APL or spousal support payments that must be handled in the future in the event of a divorce. This part of the agreement is to ensure that money and property can only be divided in certain ways as long as the end to the relationship is amicable.
New laws affecting same-sex, cohabiting couples are also included in these agreements. Such agreements are legally binding documents with the power of the law behind them, and can be enforced by outside governmental agencies.
