nuptial agreement

Prenuptial legal document

A nuptial agreement is a legal contract between spouses or prospective spouses governing financial matters—division of assets, spousal support, property rights.

A prenuptial agreement (prenup) is signed before marriage; a postnuptial agreement after.

Both aim to simplify divorce proceedings or protect individual assets: Their nuptial agreement kept her inheritance separate.
