Compassionate, Committed Legal Service
You do not need a premarital agreement to get married in South Carolina.
However, premarital agreements can help couples identify non-marital property prior to entering into a marriage. One of the biggest potential expenses in dissolution of a marriage can be determining what property should and should not be considered a part of the marital estate. Further parents with children from a previous marriage may want to consider a premarital agreement to protect property intended for their children in the event of dissolution of a marriage.
Similar to premarital agreements, postnuptial agreements can help define non-marital property owned by each spouse. They can be important to offset questions about potential transmutation of non-marital property into marital property during the marriage.
Parties should be aware South Carolina courts have strict disclosure requirements related to all marital agreements and it can be important to have an attorney review or draft any agreement prior to execution. Further, South Carolina Courts will not agree to any arrangement which impoverishes a dependent spouse.
