Prenuptial agreement
A formal agreement between two people who are about to marry, setting out the terms of ownership of assets, treatment of future earnings, control of property, and potential division if the marriage is subsequently dissolved. These agreements are fairly common if either party has substantial assets, children from a prior marriage, potential inheritances or high incomes. They are not recognised in every legal jurisdiction, most notably the United Kingdom.
