A postnuptial agreement is a contract between the parties, executed during the marriage, that addresses what will happen
financially during the course of the marriage, in the event of divorce, the death of a party, or in other agreed upon circumstances.
The point
of spousal maintenance is to provide a person who was
financially dependent upon their spouse
during the
course of the
marriage with the financial assistance that they need to maintain their quality
of life and pay for the basic costs
of living.
