Prenuptial Agreements

When you’re planning a wedding, you’re filled with hope, excitement, and the desire to build a strong foundation for your future together. At Christina White Legal, we believe that part of building that foundation includes open and honest conversations about finances, responsibilities, and expectations—and that’s where a prenuptial agreement can make a real difference.

What Is a Prenuptial Agreement?

A prenuptial agreement, or “prenup,” is a legal contract that engaged people enter into before getting married. It outlines how assets, debts, and financial responsibilities will be handled during the marriage and in the event of divorce or death. In Illinois, prenuptial agreements are governed by the Illinois Uniform Premarital Agreement Act and can be customized to reflect your unique relationship and values.

Why Consider a Prenup?

People often think of prenups as something only for the wealthy, but that’s not the case. A prenuptial agreement is simply a tool for clarity and protection. Whether you’re bringing significant assets into the marriage, own a business, have children from a previous relationship, or just want to avoid uncertainty down the road, a prenup can provide peace of mind for both partners.

At Christina White Legal, we don’t see prenuptial agreements as preparing for failure—we see them as a way to build trust and transparency from the start.
