Many engaged couples want to start their marriage on strong financial footing, but few enjoy discussing what might happen if the relationship ends. Still, creating a prenuptial agreement — often called a “prenup” — can provide peace of mind for both parties. A well-drafted prenup does not only plan for divorce; it sets clear expectations about finances, debt, and property during the marriage itself. But what makes a prenup truly “ironclad” and legally enforceable in Illinois?
