Attorneys
A well-crafted prenuptial agreement protects both partners and establishes clear financial expectations before you marry. Our Atlanta attorneys make the process straightforward.
Prenuptial Agreements
Prenuptial agreements — sometimes called antenuptial agreements in Georgia — are legally binding contracts entered into before marriage. They can define how assets and debts will be divided if the marriage ends, protect business interests, preserve inheritances, and establish spousal support terms.
Far from being unromantic, a prenuptial agreement reflects transparency and thoughtful planning. Our attorneys help couples draft agreements that are fair, enforceable under Georgia law, and tailored to their specific circumstances.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENT FAQs
Are prenuptial agreements enforceable in Georgia?
Yes, if they meet Georgia's requirements: both parties must fully disclose their finances, the agreement must be in writing and signed voluntarily, and it should not be unconscionable or contrary to public policy.
Can a prenup address child custody or child support?
No. Georgia courts will not enforce prenuptial provisions regarding child custody or support, as those decisions are made at the time of divorce based on the best interests of the child.
How far in advance should we sign a prenup?
We recommend finalizing the agreement at least 30 days before the wedding to avoid any argument that either party signed under duress or with insufficient time to review it.
Can a prenuptial agreement be challenged?
Yes. Common grounds for challenge include lack of full disclosure, coercion, fraud, or failure to have independent legal counsel. A well-drafted agreement minimizes these risks.
