Pennsylvania Prenuptial Agreements: What Engaged Couples Should Know
If you’re planning to get married in Pennsylvania, a prenuptial agreement can be an important part of preparing for your future together—especially if you own property, have significant assets, or run a business.
A Pennsylvania prenuptial agreement is a written contract signed before marriage that outlines how certain financial matters will be handled if the marriage ends due to divorce or death.
How Prenuptial Agreements Work in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania courts generally enforce prenuptial agreements when:
- The agreement is in writing and signed by both parties
- Each party entered into the agreement voluntarily
- There was full and fair disclosure of assets and debts
Pennsylvania does not require a prenup to be “fair” at the time of divorce. Because of this, informed consent and transparency at the time of signing are critical.
Why Couples in Pennsylvania Choose Prenups
Couples often consider prenuptial agreements to:
- Protect premarital assets or inheritances
- Address business ownership or professional practices
- Clarify responsibility for debts
- Reduce uncertainty and potential conflict in the future
Starting the conversation early—well before the wedding—helps avoid unnecessary pressure and improves enforceability.
