Prenuptial is not a dirty word; it is an essential document for both parties entering into a marriage who are faced with the following circumstances:

• Marrying for the first time later in life;
• Entering into a second or third marriage;
• One prospective spouse or the other has grown children;
• Substantial comingling of assets or debt arrangements prior to marriage;
• Disparity of income or accumulated wealth between the parties.

In order to avoid difficulties or confusion later on, a premarital agreement can clarify the character of certain assets as separate property, gifts or proceeds of an expected inheritance.
