An engagement is an exciting time for couples, regardless of whether it is a first marriage or simply a fresh start. However, there are some practical matters which need to be attended to. Creating a prenuptial agreement with the help of our Chicago family law attorneys should be at the top of your list.

There are many misperceptions when it comes to prenuptial agreements and engaged couples.
