Simply state, a prenuptial agreement is a contract between two people made in contemplation of marriage, in which they list their respective assets and debts and dictate how their assets will be divided and who will be responsible for the debts in the event of a dispute, dissolution of the marriage or death.
Typically, when discussion is had about prenuptial agreements (also known as "antenuptial" agreements), some people respond with immediate distaste. The argument is made that merely broaching the subject of the need to have a prenuptial agreement, let alone the process of negotiating one, is not only a romance killer, but a process fraught with the danger of undermining marital plans altogether.
