Prenuptial Agreements

Butler, Sevier, Hinsley & Reid, PLLC helps clients in Arkansas, Tennessee, and Mississippi draft, review, and negotiate prenuptial agreements. Also called premarital agreements or prenups, these agreements allow couples to clarify financial expectations before marriage and address property ownership, debts, business interests, and financial rights and obligations. Thoughtful planning can be valuable before a first marriage or remarriage, particularly when either person owns significant assets or has children from a previous relationship.

Our prenuptial agreement attorneys help clients consider separate and marital property, retirement accounts, anticipated inheritances, existing debts, and potential spousal support provisions. We approach negotiations with discretion, attention to detail, and respect for the relationship the couple is building. Enforceability depends on applicable state law and the circumstances surrounding an agreement, including its preparation and execution. We explain those considerations and help clients make informed decisions about proposed terms. A carefully prepared prenup can support open communication, clarify expectations, and reduce uncertainty while reflecting the couple's individual circumstances and long-term goals.
