With over 30 years of family law experience, Tim Kinney offers practical legal insight and precise drafting to ensure your prenuptial agreement supports your long-term financial goals.

What Is a Prenuptial Agreement?

A prenuptial agreement (often called a “Prenup”) is a contract entered into by two people before marriage that outlines how finances, property, and potential spousal support will be handled if the marriage ends in divorce.

Under 23 Pa.C.S. § 3106, Pennsylvania recognizes prenuptial agreements as valid and binding, provided certain legal requirements are met. These agreements can significantly streamline divorce proceedings, avoid future disputes, and protect personal and family wealth.

What Can a Prenuptial Agreement Cover?

Prenuptial agreements can address a wide range of financial and legal matters, including:

• Division of marital and non-marital property
• Spousal support or alimony provisions
• Treatment of business assets, trusts, and inheritances
• Debt allocation
• Retirement or investment accounts
• Protection of premarital assets or family gifts
• Procedures for handling future disputes

Prenuptial agreements cannot dictate child custody or child support arrangements, as these issues are governed by other Pennsylvania statutes.
