Who uses Prenuptial agreements. The Prenuptial (Premarital) agreement is used largely by individuals who are marrying for the second time and have assets from a previous Marriage which they want to preserve for their children from that Marriage. The other large category, probably because many people are marrying later for the first time, includes individuals marrying for the first time who have been in the work force for a period of time and have built up assets that they do not want to lose in the event of a divorce. In addition, some individuals may want Prenuptial (Premarital) agreements to limit not only the distribution of assets, but also the amount and duration of support that one party can receive from the other. High net worth individuals† Persons with considerable cash, stocks, bonds, mutual funds certificates of deposit or other investments.
Property or business owners - Persons with significant real Property such as rental income Property, or persons who own sole proprietorships, partnerships, small businesses, corporations or professional associations.
Professionals - Persons with professional degrees or licenses, because these are considered assets that produce income.
