A poorly written or legally invalid agreement can do more harm than good. We focus on clarity, accuracy, and compliance with Georgia law in every agreement we draft.

What Is a Prenuptial Agreement?
A prenuptial agreement (or “prenup”) is a legal contract between two individuals before marriage. It outlines how assets, debts, and property will be handled during the marriage and in the event of divorce or death.
Prenups are often recommended when one or both partners:
- Have substantial assets or business interests
- Are entering a second or later marriage
- Have children from a previous relationship
- Want to protect inherited or future family wealth
Without a valid prenuptial agreement, even separate property may become subject to division during divorce, especially if it is commingled with marital assets. A well-crafted prenup helps safeguard what each party brings into the marriage and can outline terms for alimony, asset division, and estate planning.
What Is a Postnuptial Agreement?
Postnuptial agreements function similarly to prenups but are executed after a couple has already married. These agreements are often created during marital tension or financial uncertainty, particularly when divorce is on the horizon. Sometimes, couples use postnups to clear the air and create structure, allowing them to move forward with renewed commitment and understanding.
By putting an enforceable postnuptial agreement in place, couples can:
- Set clear expectations for asset division
- Address financial concerns without immediately pursuing divorce
- Simplify divorce proceedings if separation becomes inevitable
- Protect individual or family-owned property acquired during the marriage

Why Legal Counsel Matters
Georgia courts will not enforce prenuptial or postnuptial agreements that are unfair, vague, or improperly executed. Both parties must have agreed voluntarily and with full disclosure of financial information. Ideally, each person should have independent legal representation to avoid any claim of coercion or undue influence.
At Eittreim Martin Cutler, LLC, our attorneys bring decades of experience drafting agreements that withstand legal scrutiny. We are meticulous about details and skilled at negotiating terms that are balanced, practical, and tailored to your unique circumstances.
Whether planning a marriage, navigating marital difficulties, or seeking to protect your financial future, we can help you make smart, legally sound decisions.
