A prenuptial agreement is a contract that is made in advance of a marriage or civil union. It is designed to outline the property rights of each party and to establish financial obligations in the event of a divorce or dissolution of the marriage or civil union.

A prenuptial agreement is also known as an 'antenuptial' or 'preliminary marriage contract' in some states. A postnuptial agreement is a contract that is made after a couple is married.
