Prenup vs. Postnup-What's the Difference?
A prenuptial agreement is created before marriage, helping couples define financial expectations as they enter into a new chapter together. A postnuptial agreement is created after marriage and is often used when circumstances change-such as new assets, business interests, or evolving financial goals.
Both serve the same purpose: providing clarity, reducing uncertainty, and creating a structure that supports long-term stability. The right choice depends on timing, but both can be tailored to fit your situation.
