Frequently, parties avoid court involvement in distribution of property by entering into a prenuptial agreement prior to the marriage or by entering into a property settlement agreement after the parties have agreed to separate. A prenuptial agreement is an agreement that sets forth, prior to the marriage, what the entitlement will be of either party in the marital estate in the event of a divorce. These types of agreements are becoming more and more common, especially in the second marriages.

A property settlement agreement is an agreement or a contract entered into by a husband and wife after they have agreed to separate that sets forth the terms of any property distribution, custody arrangement, and support obligations.
