Prenuptial Agreements have long been used to protect the assets of a far wealthier partner in a marriage.
Now they are also being used by couples who enter marriage as financial peers to help establish financial parameters. In many cases, both parties already have successful careers and significant assets, as well as important commitments to children from prior marriages, they say.
These kinds of prenups typically addresses issues such as how the couple will pay for a new shared home; which investments they will mingle or keep separate; and who will inherit each partner's assets - not how much of the family's fortune might be shielded from the newcomer.
