A: There are two types of agreements that may pertain to your situation. If you do not intend to file for divorce, but are planning just in case of divorce in the future, you can enter into a post nuptial agreement to address certain issues. Post nuptial agreements are similar to prenuptial agreements in that they address marital interests and rights such as the division of assets, debts, alimony, and other issues in order to reduce or eliminate the need for litigation in the event of a future divorce.

If divorce is immanent, then you may want to consider an uncontested divorce. This would involve both you and your husband entering into a marital settlement agreement to resolve the issues involved with a divorce.

We would highly recommend you speak to a qualified attorney to discuss your options in greater detail.
