With Valentine's Day quickly approaching, couples may be thinking of taking their relationship into marriage. But when the wedding aisle is finally in sight, prenuptial agreements become an issue that many should consider.
Noted divorce attorney and women's rights activist Cecile C. Weich has compiled some tips to keep in mind as couples contemplate the most important step they will ever take.
A pre-marriage contract sets forth what each partner brings into the marriage and how these assets will be divided in the event of a dissolution of the relationship.
* Each party should get a full disclosure of the intended's assets and net worth. It is important that you have an accurate picture of your future spouse's financial profile.
* Get your own lawyer. To realistically consider the terms of the prenuptial agreement, your attorney should act in your best interest.
* Remember, the time to agree to disagree is when there is a smile on your lips and love in your heart.
