prenuptial agreement (antenuptial agreement) n. a written contract between two people who are about to marry, setting out the terms of possession of assets, treatment of future earnings, control of the property of each, and potential division if the marriage is later dissolved. These agreements are fairly common if either or both parties have substantial assets, children from a prior marriage, potential inheritances, high incomes, or have been "taken" by a prior spouse.

| We strongly recommended a prenuptial agreement in order to protect the depletion of the executives' assets. The case went all the way to the California Supreme Court, where the justices set a precedent by ruling prenuptial pacts enforceable, whether both sides have legal representation or not. That's close to how Major League slugger Barry Bonds broached the who-should-get-what-if-we-split question when he signed a prenuptial agreement the day before he married his now ex-wife. |
