Marriage is a partnership—but sometimes, circumstances change after you say “I do.” Whether you’re dealing with growing wealth, children from a previous relationship, business interests, or simply want to create a clear plan for the future, a postnuptial agreement can help.

At Krasner Law, our experienced postnup lawyers work with married couples to draft legally sound, customized postnuptial agreements that protect both parties and reduce the risk of conflict down the road. We make the process clear, respectful, and tailored to your goals.

A postnuptial agreement, or “postnup,” is a legal contract created after a couple is already married. Like a prenup, it outlines how assets and responsibilities will be handled if the marriage ends in divorce, separation, or death. It can help you:

Protect individual or family-owned property
Clarify how future income or investments will be divided
Address debts or obligations from before or during the marriage
Provide security for children from a prior marriage
Reduce uncertainty and future disputes

These agreements are especially valuable when financial situations shift—such as receiving an inheritance, starting a business, or buying real estate. Our goal is to create an agreement that reflects your values, protects your interests, and supports a strong foundation for the future.

Frequently Asked Questions About Postnuptial Agreements

Straightforward Answers from Experienced Postnup Lawyers

Here’s what couples often ask about postnuptial agreements in New York.

What is a postnuptial agreement?

A postnup is a legal contract signed after you’re married that outlines how assets, debts, and responsibilities would be handled if the marriage ends.
How is a postnup different from a prenup?

A prenup is signed before marriage; a postnup is signed afterward. Otherwise, they can cover many of the same topics—property, support, inheritance, and more.
Are postnups enforceable in New York?

Yes, but only if they’re written clearly, signed voluntarily, and based on full financial disclosure. Courts may reject unfair or unclear agreements.
Do both spouses need lawyers?

It’s strongly recommended. Having separate legal counsel protects each spouse and increases the likelihood your postnup will be upheld.
What can a postnup cover?

You can address asset division, debts, spousal support, business interests, inheritance rights, and more. We’ll help you stay within what New York law allows.
Is a postnup right for us?

If you want to clarify financial roles, protect certain assets, or simply reduce future uncertainty, a postnup can offer peace of mind—even in a healthy marriage.
How long does it take to create a postnup?

Most postnups take a few weeks to draft and finalize. More complex agreements may take longer, especially if detailed financial disclosures are needed.
Can we change our postnup later?

Yes. You can amend or revoke a postnup at any time, as long as both parties agree and the changes are made in writing.
What happens if we divorce after signing a postnup?

The court will generally follow the terms of your postnup, as long as it was fairly created. This can make the divorce process smoother and faster.
Where do you offer postnup services?

We serve clients throughout New York and New Jersey, including Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Bronx, Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, and beyond.
