Is a Postnuptial Agreement legally valid and binding in the future?
The legal status of Postnuptial Agreements is somewhat unclear, and depends on what state you live in. In Massachusetts, it is likely that under the correct facts and circumstances, a properly conceived and fairly written Postnuptial Agreement (like a prenuptial agreement) can be valid in case of a divorce. More importantly, the Agreement can set the couple on a path towards reconciliation and clarity over issues that are troubling them and can help prevent divorce.
