A prenuptial agreement, commonly known as a prenup or premarital agreement, is a legally binding contract signed by a couple before marriage, specifying how their assets, debts, and spousal support will be handled in the event of divorce or death. It aims to protect each party\u2019s individual financial interests and outline the terms of property division and alimony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
