Protecting Assets through Property Division
If you are divorcing, no assets are out of bounds for the court to consider. All assets are part of the equation, including assets that were acquired before the marriage. If you have assets that you want to protect in the event of a divorce, you must do some advanced planning and execute a prenuptial agreement.

A prenuptial agreement is the best way to protect your assets if you get divorced. Prenuptial agreements must be created six months prior to the wedding and must be substantively fair to both parties. This means that it cannot overly favor one party to the agreement. Additionally, for a prenup to be upheld in court, both parties must have been represented by counsel at the time the agreement was executed.
A prenuptial agreement protects property that was acquired before the marriage. However, a commingling of the premarital property protected by the prenup and the marital property may affect the validity of the agreement. It is extremely important that you keep the premarital and marital property separate.
