What A Postnuptial Agreement Can Do

Texas is a community property state. That means most income earned during marriage is community property that can be divided in a divorce. Separate property, such as assets owned before marriage or certain inheritances, is generally treated differently. A postnuptial agreement lets spouses decide, within the boundaries of Texas law, how property and certain financial issues will be handled if the marriage ends or when one spouse dies.

For many families connected to Midland, a postnup is about organizing complex financial lives in a clear, written way. It can clarify what will remain separate property, how to treat future increases in value of separate assets, and how to allocate responsibility for certain debts. It can also address what happens to business interests, mineral rights, or investment accounts if the marriage later dissolves.

At the same time, a postnuptial agreement has limits. Texas courts typically expect full and fair financial disclosure and that both spouses sign voluntarily and with an understanding of the terms. Certain matters, such as child support and some aspects of child custody, are primarily governed by Texas law and public policy rather than by private agreement. We explain these boundaries carefully so you know what a postnup can realistically accomplish.

Some ways a postnuptial agreement may help you plan ahead include:

• Defining which assets will remain each spouse’s separate property if the marriage ends.
• Clarifying how increases in value of businesses, mineral interests, or investments will be treated.
• Addressing how certain debts, such as business or personal guarantees, will be allocated.
• Providing guidance on property division if divorce becomes necessary in the future.
• Coordinating with estate planning to protect children from prior relationships or family heirs.

We tailor every agreement to the specific goals and circumstances of the couple. Our attorneys spend time understanding your financial picture, your family responsibilities, and your tolerance for different types of risk. This approach helps you create a document that reflects your reality instead of a generic form that may not hold up well later.
