A postnuptial agreement, often referred to as a postnup, is a legal contract that married couples enter into after their wedding to outline the management and division of assets and liabilities should the marriage end.
This agreement can be made at any point after the wedding, whether it is months or years into the marriage. There is no specific time limit for when a postnup needs to be signed, allowing couples to adapt their financial planning as their situations evolve.
