What is a prenup, and why would you need one?

A prenup is a legal contract between future spouses that outlines how assets, debts, and other financial matters will be handled in the event of divorce or death. People consider prenups to protect their assets, set up financial expectations, and provide for children from previous marriages.

Does a prenup only take into account financial matters?

No, prenups can decide many things, including spousal support, property division, and family matters like custody and visitation.

I’m already married, and have a prenup. Can I modify it?

Yes, if both you and your spouse agree to the modifications, a prenup can be changed. We can help you with that legal process to make sure everything is done within the letter of the law.

Can I legally challenge my prenup in Tennessee?

Yes, there are some reasons that a prenup may be found unenforceable. If it was signed under duress, or contains incorrect/fraudulent information, as well as a few other reasons, it may be possible to challenge the enforceability of a prenup.
