Can I Write My Own Prenup?

This question is answered by Jason Kohlmeyer, of Kohlmeyer Hagen, Law Office Chartered, in Mankato, Minnesota. So... do lawyers still write prenups? What is a prenup? Can you write your own? Jason tackles all of these questions at once, with pretty straightforward answers for each. What is a prenup? A prenup is a Prenuptial Agreement between two parties that are to be wed. A prenuptial agreement is designed to determine what would happen if the parties wed should get a divorce (or dissolution if you reside in Minnesota), though prenups are not always "airtight" as Jason highlights briefly and should really only be used in specific situations. Jason has written prenups, and Kohlmeyer Hagen does do prenuptial agreements, but as Jason points out, you shouldn't really need one unless there is an extreme difference in the amount of money being brought to the table, or in the more common case of two business owners getting married, where "ownership" might be a question. This is mostly due to the fact that the law already does an excellent job of "keeping track," as Jason points out with the housing example, so if you're worried about losing your "most valued possessions," it's really dependent on when you acquired them. As to the question of whether or not you could write your own prenuptial agreement, Jason answers honestly with "yes", but the truth is that since you should only be getting a prenuptial agreement if there is a heavy difference in financials, you really should take the time to hire an attorney to handle it. Writing your own prenuptial agreement is a great way to "lose" since prenups are often heavily litigated, and it will be much easier for a judge to throw it out if you write it yourself. Something to consider is this: If you were going to court tomorrow over your divorce, do you think that a lawyer could take apart your prenuptial agreement? If you write it yourself, that is the risk you are taking, but if you let an experienced family law attorney handle it, you are looking at a much better prenup, with a more airtight contract.
