Special Notes on Prenuptial Agreements governed by the Commonwealth of Virginia
The Commonwealth of Virginia has chosen to adopt the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act (UPAA), a statute created for the purpose of standardizing the requirements of prenuptial agreements between states. As such, this Agreement has been worded based on the notion subscribed to by the UPAA that prenuptial agreements should be entered into voluntarily and fairly upon the exchange of disclosure between the Parties.It is best to sign the Prenuptial Agreement in front of your own lawyer and to receive a Certificate of Independent Legal Advice from your lawyer. Alternatively, you should consider seeing a notary public or at the minimum sign the document in front of one or two witnesses.

A Prenuptial Agreement (or prenup) is a contract that you and your future husband or wife create prior to becoming legally married.
It dictates the financial responsibilities of each party and legally divides the monetary obligations of each spouse upon separation or death. Prenuptial Agreements include terms such as division of properties, spousal support, and estate planning to protect the assets of each spouse, both during and after a legal relationship.
For individuals who want to protect themselves but who will not be legally married, Cohabitation Agreements or Common-Law Agreements can serve as a solution.
Prenuptial Agreements are used to protect any personal assets in the case of divorce, separation or death by creating personalized terms as opposed to the terms governed by law.
Prenuptial Agreements are generally recommended if you:

They cannot include terms regarding child custody, child visitation, or child support for existing or future children.
