I just got married. Is it too soon to create a postnup?

It's never too soon after saying "I do" to create a postnuptial agreement. In fact, the sooner the better. Postnup.com is designed for couples who have been married for less than two years, so if you just got married, you're actually in the perfect window to get this done.

Some couples feel unsure about bringing up finances so early in a marriage, which is exactly why we built Postnup.com to make the process simple, affordable, and collaborative. The earlier you align on your financial future, the stronger your foundation. After all, don't you want to get back to enjoying newlywed life ASAP?

Have legal questions? Your $1,997 package includes two dedicated family law attorneys — one for each spouse — who are approachable, knowledgeable, and passionate about answering your burning legal questions. Plus, e-signature and notarization are included so you can wrap everything up without the runaround.

About postnups From the basics to the lifestyle clauses, we’ve got you covered. Postnups 101

What is a postnuptial agreement?

A postnuptial agreement (or "postnup") is a legal contract between two people who are already married. It outlines how assets, debts, property, and financial responsibilities would be divided in the event of a divorce or separation. Think of it as a prenup — but created after you've already said "I do."

Postnuptial agreements are recognized in most U.S. states and can address a wide range of financial topics, from real estate and retirement accounts to business interests and spousal support.

What can a postnuptial agreement do?

A postnuptial agreement can protect both spouses by clearly defining how finances will be handled during the marriage and in the event of a divorce. Specifically, a postnup can address the division of property and assets, allocation of debts, spousal support or alimony terms (in most states), protection of business interests, inheritance and estate planning considerations, and financial responsibilities during the marriage.

Essentially, a postnup gives married couples a space to have an open, honest conversation about money — and put those agreements in writing with legal backing.

Why would I need a postnuptial agreement?

There are many reasons couples choose to create a postnuptial agreement. Maybe you skipped the prenup conversation before the wedding and want to address it now. Maybe your financial situation has changed — a new business, an inheritance, a career shift — and you want to make sure both spouses are protected.

A postnup isn't about planning for failure. It's about building a stronger financial foundation together. Having clear agreements in place reduces conflict, increases transparency, and gives both partners peace of mind. With Postnup.com, the process is collaborative, not adversarial — so you can have the conversation without the drama.

What is the difference between a prenup and a postnup?

The main difference is timing. A prenuptial agreement is signed before marriage, while a postnuptial agreement is signed after you're already married. Both serve a similar purpose — outlining how assets, debts, and financial matters will be handled — but postnups are specifically designed for couples who are already in a marriage.

In some states, postnuptial agreements may face slightly more scrutiny than prenups, which is exactly why Postnup.com includes two dedicated family law attorneys (one for each spouse) in every package to ensure your agreement is properly drafted and enforceable.

What cannot be included in a postnuptial agreement?

While postnuptial agreements are flexible, there are certain things that cannot be legally included. You cannot include child custody or child support arrangements — courts always determine these based on the best interests of the child at the time of divorce. You also cannot include anything illegal, anything that incentivizes divorce, or terms that are grossly unfair or unconscionable to one party.

Additionally, personal matters like household chores, lifestyle clauses, or non-financial relationship rules are generally not enforceable. Your Postnup.com attorneys will help ensure your agreement only includes clauses that will hold up in court.

What can be included in a postnup?

A postnuptial agreement can cover a wide range of financial topics. Common inclusions are: the delineation of marital / community property and separate property, how debts acquired before and during the marriage will be allocated, spousal support or alimony terms (in most states), protection for business ownership and interests, real estate and investment properties, retirement accounts and pensions, inheritance protections, and financial responsibilities during the marriage.

Postnup.com also provides a long list of customized clauses you can include at no extra cost, so your agreement is tailored to your specific situation.

We didn't get a prenup before the wedding. Is it too late?

Not at all — that's exactly what a postnuptial agreement is for! Many couples skip the prenup conversation before the wedding, whether it felt too awkward, too expensive, or there just wasn't enough time. A postnup gives you the same financial protections after marriage.

That said, Postnup.com is designed for couples who have been married for less than two years, so the sooner you start, the better. The earlier you align on your financial future, the stronger your foundation will be.

Can a postnuptial agreement be thrown out in court?

Courts typically uphold postnups when both parties had independent legal representation, there was full financial disclosure, the agreement was entered into voluntarily without coercion, and the terms are fair and not unconscionable and follow state specific rules for enforceability. A postnuptial agreement, like any contract, can be challenged in court, but that doesn't mean it will be thrown out — especially if it's drafted properly.

This is why Postnup.com includes two dedicated attorneys — one for each spouse — in every $2499 package. Independent legal representation for both parties is one of the strongest factors in making a postnup enforceable.

Do both spouses need their own attorney for a postnup?

While requirements vary by state, having independent legal representation for both spouses is one of the best ways to ensure your postnuptial agreement holds up in court.

Postnup.com removes this concern entirely. Every $2499 package includes two family law attorneys — one for each spouse — so both parties are fully represented. No extra fees, no shopping around for lawyers on your own.

Will getting a postnup hurt my marriage?

Quite the opposite. Couples who openly discuss finances tend to have stronger, healthier relationships. A postnup isn't about distrust — it's about transparency. It forces you to have important conversations about money, property, and your future together in a structured, productive way.

Postnup.com was specifically designed to make this process collaborative, not combative. Both spouses work through the platform together, negotiate terms in an easy-to-use interface, and each have their own attorney to ensure fairness. It's a team effort, not a battle.

What topics does Postnup.com cover in a postnuptial agreement?

Postnup.com covers a comprehensive range of financial and legal topics, including: delineation of marital property / community property and separate property, debt allocation, spousal support and alimony (in most states), real estate holdings, business interests and ownership, retirement accounts and pensions, investments and financial accounts, inheritance and estate planning, and financial roles and responsibilities during the marriage.

We also offer a long list of customized clauses at no extra cost, and our attorneys vet state-specific case law and requirements to make sure your agreement is comprehensive and enforceable in your state.

How long does it take to create a postnup on Postnup.com?

The process from start to sign typically takes a few days. The exact timeline depends on how quickly you and your spouse complete the questionnaires, finalize your agreements, and coordinate with your attorneys based on their availability.

The good news is that Postnup.com's streamlined platform keeps things moving efficiently. Your $1,997 package includes everything — two dedicated attorneys (one for each spouse), e-signature, and notarization — so there's no waiting around for separate appointments or chasing down additional services. The faster you and your spouse work through your portions, the sooner you'll have a signed agreement in hand.

What voids a postnuptial agreement?

Several things can void a postnuptial agreement. The most common reasons include: one or both spouses did not have independent legal representation, there was coercion or duress (one spouse pressured the other into signing), there was a failure to fully disclose assets and debts, the terms are grossly unfair or unconscionable, the agreement was not properly executed (missing signatures, no notarization where required), or the agreement includes provisions that are illegal or against public policy.

Postnup.com is built to protect against these pitfalls. Every package includes two independent attorneys, full financial disclosure tools, e-signature, and notarization — giving your agreement the strongest possible foundation.

Can I write my own postnuptial agreement?

Like with any contract, you can technically draft your own, but doing so poses significant risk to enforcement. Postnups face more legal scrutiny than most private contracts, due to the legally protected nature of the marital union. Thus, a DIY agreement is far more likely to be challenged or thrown out in court. Common mistakes include missing state-specific requirements for validity, using unenforceable clauses, failing to include proper financial disclosures, and not having sufficient independent legal representation.

With Postnup.com, you get the best of both worlds: a collaborative, easy-to-use platform where you and your spouse control the process, plus two dedicated family law attorneys who ensure everything is legally sound. At $1,997 for the full package — including e-signature and notarization — it's a fraction of what traditional attorneys charge and far more reliable than going it alone.

Cost We’re the most affordable option for priceless peace of mind. Pricing

How much does Postnup.com cost?

Postnup.com is $2499 for the complete package. That single price covers everything you need from start to sign: two dedicated family law attorneys (one for each spouse), the full collaborative platform experience, e-signature, and notarization. There are no hidden fees, no surprise add-ons, and no separate retainer costs.

Compare that to the traditional route where hiring two independent attorneys can easily cost $5,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on your state and the complexity of your agreement. Postnup.com gives you the same high quality legal representation and enforceable document at a fraction of the cost.

How much does a postnuptial agreement typically cost?

Through the traditional route, a postnuptial agreement can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000+ depending on your state, the complexity of your finances, and the attorneys you hire. And that's often per spouse — meaning you could be looking at double the cost if both partners retain separate lawyers, which is strongly recommended for enforceability.

Postnup.com offers a streamlined alternative at $2499 total, which includes two attorneys (one for each spouse), e-signature, and notarization — everything bundled into one flat price. No hourly billing surprises, no back-and-forth between competing law offices.

Does the $2499 cover both spouses?

Absolutely. Attorney review and representation is a core part of the Postnup.com experience. Your $2499 package includes two family law attorneys, one for each spouse, who review and help finalize your postnuptial agreement. This isn't an optional add-on or an upsell. Independent legal representation for both parties is built into every package because it's one of the most important factors in making your agreement enforceable. E-signature and notarization are also included, so you won't need to pay extra for anything to get your agreement finalized and signed.

Is attorney review included in the $2499 price?

Absolutely. Attorney review isn't just included — it's a core part of the Postnup.com experience. Your $1,997 package includes two family law attorneys, one for each spouse, who review and help finalize your postnuptial agreement. This isn't an optional add-on or an upsell. Independent legal representation for both parties is built into every package because it's one of the most important factors in making your agreement enforceable.

E-signature and notarization are also included, so you won't need to pay extra for anything to get your agreement finalized and signed.

Are there any discounts available?

Postnup.com occasionally offers promotional pricing and discounts. The best way to stay in the loop is to sign up for our email list or follow us on social media, where we announce any special offers.

That said, at $2499 for two attorneys, e-signature, and notarization all included, Postnup.com is already priced at a significant discount compared to the traditional process of hiring two separate family law attorneys, which can easily run $5,000 to $10,000+.

Can I see the questionnaire or a sample postnup before paying?

We understand you want to know what you're getting before you commit. While we don't provide a full sample postnuptial agreement or the complete questionnaire upfront — since every agreement is customized to your specific situation and state requirements — our FAQ pages and States pages give you a thorough overview of what's covered, what to expect, and how the process works.

If you have specific questions before getting started, our team is happy to help. We want you to feel confident and informed before you begin.

Our process Common questions answered about our process. For more details, visit: How it works

How does the Postnup.com process work?

The Postnup.com process is simple and streamlined. First, you and your spouse each create your own accounts and complete individual questionnaires about your finances, assets, debts, and preferences. The platform then identifies where you're aligned and where you may need to negotiate.

Once you've worked through the collaborative negotiation process on the platform, your agreement is reviewed by two dedicated family law attorneys — one for each spouse. After both parties and their attorneys are satisfied, you finalize the agreement with built-in e-signature and notarization. Everything happens in one place, from start to sign.

Does my spouse need to set up a separate account or can we complete the process with just one account?

Yes, each spouse needs their own separate account. This is by design — and it's actually one of the things that makes your postnuptial agreement stronger. Each party needs to independently provide their financial information and answer the questionnaire on their own, without influence from the other spouse.

Having separate accounts ensures that both parties are providing honest, independent answers, which is critical for the enforceability of your agreement. It also means each spouse has a private space to review the terms with their own dedicated attorney before signing.

Do we have to complete the entire questionnaire if we only want to address one specific topic?

We recommend completing the full questionnaire, even if you have one primary topic in mind. The questionnaire is designed to ensure your postnuptial agreement is comprehensive and covers all the bases — which is important for enforceability. Skipping sections could leave gaps that might weaken your agreement down the road.

That said, the questionnaire is straightforward and won't take long to complete. And if there are sections that don't apply to your situation, you can indicate that quickly and move on. Your attorneys will also help you focus on the areas that matter most to you and your spouse.

How will we know if we have conflicting answers between our questionnaires?

That's one of the best features of Postnup.com's collaborative platform. After both spouses complete their individual questionnaires, the system automatically identifies any areas where your answers conflict. These differences are flagged clearly so you and your spouse can discuss them and negotiate directly within the platform.

This collaborative negotiation process is what makes Postnup.com different from the traditional approach, where two attorneys go back and forth on your behalf. Here, you're working through the differences together — with your attorneys available to guide you through any sticking points.

How long does it take to get a postnup?

The process from start to sign typically takes a few days. The exact timeline depends on how quickly you and your spouse complete the questionnaires, finalize your agreements, and coordinate with your attorneys based on their availability.

Postnup.com's streamlined platform keeps things moving efficiently. Your $2499 package includes everything — two dedicated attorneys (one for each spouse), e-signature, and notarization — so there's no waiting around for separate appointments or chasing down additional services. The faster you and your spouse work through your portions, the sooner you'll have a signed agreement in hand.

Do I need to disclose all of my assets and finances? Why?

Yes — full financial disclosure is essential. In fact, it's one of the most important factors in making your postnuptial agreement enforceable. If a court later finds that either spouse hid assets or failed to disclose their full financial picture, the entire agreement could be thrown out.

We know it can feel uncomfortable to lay everything out on the table, but that transparency is exactly what protects both of you. Postnup.com's questionnaire walks you through the disclosure process step by step, and your dedicated attorney is there to help you understand what needs to be included. Full disclosure isn't just a legal requirement — it's the foundation of a fair agreement.

Am I able to change my postnuptial agreement after it's signed?

Yes, a postnuptial agreement can be modified after it's signed, but both spouses must agree to the changes. Any amendments need to be in writing, signed by both parties, and ideally reviewed by attorneys to ensure the changes are legally valid and enforceable.

If your financial situation changes significantly — a new business, a major inheritance, a career change — it may be worth revisiting your agreement. However, keep in mind that Postnup.com is designed for couples who have been married for less than two years, so if you're within that window and your circumstances change, reach out to us sooner rather than later.

Can we customize our postnup?

Absolutely. Every postnuptial agreement created on Postnup.com is customized to your specific situation. The platform isn't a one-size-fits-all template — it generates your agreement based on the answers you and your spouse provide in your questionnaires, your state's legal requirements, and the terms you negotiate together.

On top of that, Postnup.com offers a long list of customized clauses you can include at no extra cost. Whether you need specific provisions for business interests, real estate, retirement accounts, or spousal support, you can tailor your agreement to fit your unique needs. Your dedicated attorneys will also help ensure any custom provisions are legally sound and enforceable in your state.

Which state should I choose for my postnup?

Generally, you should choose the state where you and your spouse currently live. Your postnuptial agreement will be governed by that state's laws, so it's important that it's drafted in compliance with the legal requirements of your state of residence.

If you and your spouse live in different states, or if you're planning to relocate soon, your Postnup.com attorney can help you determine which state makes the most sense for your agreement. Postnup.com vets case law and integrates state-specific requirements before supporting postnuptial agreement generation in each state, so you can be confident your agreement meets local legal standards.

How do we get started with Postnup.com?

Getting started is easy. Head to Postnup.com and create your account. Once you're in, you'll invite your spouse to create their own separate account. From there, you'll each complete your individual questionnaires at your own pace.

After both questionnaires are submitted, the platform will guide you through the collaborative negotiation process. Your $1,997 package includes everything from that point forward — two dedicated attorneys (one for each spouse), e-signature, and notarization. No extra steps, no hidden fees. Just a straightforward path from start to signed agreement.

Legality Postnup.com was built by attorneys for couples just like you. Legal questions? We offer access to a network of attorneys in your state.

What makes a postnup enforceable?

Several key factors determine whether a postnuptial agreement will hold up in court. The most important include: both spouses had independent legal representation, there was full and honest financial disclosure from both parties, the agreement was entered into voluntarily without coercion or duress, the terms are fair and not unconscionable, and the agreement was properly executed with signatures and notarization where required by the state.

Postnup.com is designed with enforceability as a top priority. Every $2499 package includes two dedicated attorneys (one for each spouse), full financial disclosure tools, e-signature, and notarization — checking every major box that courts look for when evaluating a postnuptial agreement.

How is a Postnup.com agreement legally valid and enforceable if you're not a law firm?

Great question — and it's an important distinction. Postnup.com is a legal technology platform, not a law firm. However, every postnuptial agreement created through our platform is reviewed and finalized by two licensed family law attorneys — one representing each spouse. These are real, practicing attorneys in your state who ensure your agreement meets all legal requirements.

The platform handles the collaborative process, questionnaires, and negotiation, while the attorneys handle the legal review and compliance. This combination gives you the convenience and affordability of technology with the legal rigor of traditional attorney representation. It's the best of both worlds.

Is a postnuptial agreement made online enforceable?

Yes — how a postnuptial agreement is created (online vs. in a law office) doesn't determine its enforceability. What matters is whether the agreement meets the legal requirements of your state: proper execution, full financial disclosure, independent legal representation, voluntary consent, and fair terms.

Postnup.com's platform is designed by top family law attorneys to meet these requirements from the ground up. Your agreement is reviewed by two licensed attorneys, signed via e-signature, and notarized — all within the platform. Courts don't care whether the agreement was drafted in a mahogany-paneled office or on your couch. They care whether it was done right. Postnup.com makes sure it is.

What are the requirements for a valid postnuptial agreement?

Requirements vary by state, but most states require the following for a postnuptial agreement to be valid: the agreement must be in writing and signed by both spouses, both parties must make full and fair financial disclosure, the agreement must be entered into voluntarily without fraud, duress, or undue influence, the terms must not be unconscionable or grossly unfair, and many states require or strongly recommend independent legal counsel for each party.

Some states also require notarization or witnesses. Postnup.com accounts for all of these requirements based on your specific state. Our platform integrates state-specific legal standards, and your two dedicated attorneys ensure everything is compliant before you sign.

How do you ensure compliance with different state regulations?

Postnup.com takes state compliance seriously. Before we support postnuptial agreement generation in any state, our legal team vets the relevant case law, statutes, and specific requirements for that state. This means your agreement isn't a generic, one-size-fits-all template — it's built to meet the legal standards of the state you select.

On top of that, each spouse is paired with a licensed family law attorney who practices in your state and understands the local legal landscape. They review your agreement to ensure it complies with your state's specific requirements around execution, disclosure, and enforceability. Check out our States pages for detailed information on requirements in your state.

Do I need to hire a separate lawyer?

No — that's one of the biggest advantages of Postnup.com. Your $1,997 package already includes two dedicated family law attorneys, one for each spouse. You don't need to find, vet, or pay for separate lawyers on your own.

Having independent legal representation for each spouse is one of the most important factors in making a postnuptial agreement enforceable, which is why it's built into every Postnup.com package. Both you and your spouse will have your own attorney to review the terms, answer your questions, and ensure the agreement is fair and legally sound — all included in the price.

What if my spouse is not a U.S. citizen? Will this affect our postnuptial agreement?

Your spouse's citizenship status does not prevent you from creating a postnuptial agreement. As long as you are legally married and residing in the United States, you can create a postnup through Postnup.com. The agreement will be governed by the laws of the state where you live, regardless of either spouse's nationality.

That said, if your spouse holds assets in another country or if there are international financial considerations, your dedicated Postnup.com attorney can help you understand how those factors may affect your agreement. Keep in mind that a U.S. postnuptial agreement may not be enforceable in other countries, so if you have significant international ties, you'll want to discuss that with your attorney during the review process.

Attorney services Postnup.com connects you with attorneys in every state. *Only available in CA now. Expanding soon! Attorney services

Are attorney services included with Postnup.com?

Yes — attorney services are included in every Postnup.com package. Your $2499 price covers two dedicated family law attorneys, one for each spouse. This isn't an optional add-on or an upsell. Independent legal representation for both parties is a core part of the Postnup.com experience because it's one of the most important factors in making your agreement enforceable.

Your package also includes e-signature and notarization, so you have everything you need from start to signed agreement — no hidden costs or surprise fees.

When do the attorneys get involved in the process?

Your attorneys get involved after you and your spouse have completed your individual questionnaires and worked through the collaborative negotiation process on the platform. Once you've aligned on the terms of your agreement, your dedicated attorneys step in to review the document, ensure it meets your state's legal requirements, and finalize everything.

Think of it as two phases: first, you and your spouse work together on the platform to shape your agreement. Then, your attorneys review it with legal expertise to make sure it's airtight and enforceable.

Can we complete the postnup without attorneys?

Attorney involvement is built into every Postnup.com package, and for good reason. Postnuptial agreements face more legal scrutiny than most personal contracts, including prenups, and having independent legal representation for both spouses is one of the strongest factors in making your postnup agreement enforceable.

With Postnup.com, you don't need to worry about finding or paying for attorneys separately. Two dedicated, state specific family law attorneys — one for each spouse — are included in the $2499 price. It's built in because it matters.

Can one attorney represent both spouses?

No — and that's intentional. One of the key factors courts consider when evaluating a postnuptial agreement is whether each spouse had independent legal representation. If one attorney represents both parties, it creates a conflict of interest and could be grounds for the agreement to be challenged or thrown out.

That's exactly why Postnup.com provides two separate attorneys — one dedicated to each spouse. Each attorney's job is to represent their client's interests independently, which strengthens the enforceability of your agreement. This is all included in your $2499 package.

Will the attorney review my postnup before our consultation?

Yes. Your dedicated attorney will review your postnuptial agreement and all relevant financial disclosures before meeting with you. This means your consultation time is spent productively — discussing the terms, answering your questions, and making any necessary revisions — rather than having the attorney read through everything for the first time.

Both attorneys (one for each spouse) go through this review process independently to ensure each party's interests are properly represented.

If my attorney needs to communicate with my spouse's attorney, will this increase the cost?

No. Any communication between the two attorneys is included in your $2499 package. If your attorney and your spouse's attorney need to discuss terms, negotiate revisions, or coordinate on any aspect of the agreement, that's all covered. There are no hourly billing surprises or additional fees for attorney-to-attorney communication. One price, everything included.

How quickly can I find an attorney on Postnup.com?

Attorney hiring through the platform happens as one of the first steps in the Postnup.com process. Once you and your spouse have completed your questionnaires and worked through the negotiation phase on the platform, you'll be provided a list of available state specific family law attorneys to choose from. The exact timing of your meeting with them depends on attorney availability in your state, but Postnup.com's streamlined process is designed to keep things moving efficiently.

The faster you and your spouse complete your portions of the process, the sooner you'll be connected with your attorneys for review and finalization.

Will Postnup.com assign me an attorney, or do I choose my own?

Postnup.com will provide you with available options of qualified family law attorney licensed in your state. You can choose an attorney you feel comfortable with based on their bio, experience and reviews. Our platform ensures that each spouse hires their own dedicated attorney based on your geographic location and the specific requirements of your state's postnuptial agreement laws.

Every attorney on our platform has been vetted for their expertise in family law and marital agreements, so you can feel confident in the representation you receive — without the stress of shopping around for lawyers on your own.

How does Postnup.com vet the attorneys on the platform?

Postnup.com takes attorney quality seriously. All attorneys on our platform are licensed family law practitioners in their respective states and have experience working on marital agreements, including prenups and postnups. We vet attorneys for their credentials, experience in family law, knowledge of state-specific postnuptial agreement requirements, and their ability to provide accessible, approachable legal guidance.

Our goal is to make sure that every couple working with Postnup.com has access to knowledgeable, responsive attorneys who understand both the legal landscape and the collaborative spirit of our platform.

Can I use my own external attorney instead?

Postnup.com's $2499 package is designed as an all-inclusive experience, with two dedicated attorneys already built in. If you have a specific attorney you'd like to use, we recommend reaching out to our team to discuss your options.

Keep in mind that one of the biggest advantages of Postnup.com is that both attorneys are already integrated into the platform, familiar with the process, and experienced in postnuptial agreements. This makes the review and finalization process faster and smoother than coordinating with outside counsel who may not be familiar with the platform.

Does my spouse automatically get an attorney too?

Yes — both spouses are covered. Every Postnup.com package includes two dedicated family law attorneys, one for each spouse. There's no scenario where one spouse has representation and the other doesn't. This is a deliberate part of our process because independent legal representation for both parties is one of the most critical factors in making your postnuptial agreement enforceable.

You don't need to coordinate separate attorney hires, negotiate separate fees, or worry about one spouse being unrepresented. It's all included in the $2499 price.

Notarization Notarizing your postnup is easy with Postnup.com. Use our partner, Proof, for 24/7 online notarization or visit a U.S. notary in person. Once notarized, you’re all set—no court filing needed! Notarization

Do you offer notarization services? If so, how much does it cost?

Yes — notarization is included in every Postnup.com package at no additional cost. Your $2499 price covers the full experience: two dedicated family law attorneys (one for each spouse), e-signature, and notarization. You won't need to track down a notary on your own or pay separate notarization fees.

Postnup.com uses online notarization built directly into the platform, so you can complete this final step from the comfort of your home without scheduling an in-person appointment.

Can we use the online notarization process if my spouse is not located in the U.S.?

Online notarization availability for spouses located outside the U.S. depends on the specific requirements of your state and the online notarization laws that apply. Some states allow remote online notarization (RON) for parties located abroad, while others have restrictions.

We recommend reaching out to the Postnup.com team if your spouse is currently outside the country so we can advise on the best path forward based on your state's specific rules. In some cases, alternative notarization arrangements may be needed — your dedicated attorney can help guide you through those options.

Do we need to be together in the same room when it's time to notarize?

No — you do not need to be in the same room. Postnup.com uses online notarization, which allows each spouse to complete the notarization process remotely from wherever they are. You'll each connect via a secure video session with the notary to verify your identity and sign the document.

This is especially convenient for couples who may be in different cities, traveling, or simply prefer the ease of handling everything from home. The entire process is built into the platform so there's nothing extra to coordinate.

Do I need to make an appointment with the notary?

The notarization process is handled within the Postnup.com platform, so you won't need to independently search for or schedule an appointment with a notary. Once your postnuptial agreement has been reviewed and finalized by your attorneys and both spouses have e-signed, the platform will guide you through the notarization step.

You'll be connected with an online notary as part of the process — no phone calls to notary offices, no driving across town, and no separate scheduling hassles. It's all built in.

Can I just notarize the postnup in-person instead of online?

Postnup.com's built-in notarization is handled online for convenience and speed. However, if your state requires in-person notarization or if you prefer to notarize your agreement in person, you're welcome to do so on your own. Your attorney can advise you on whether your state accepts online notarization for postnuptial agreements or if in-person notarization is recommended.

Keep in mind that most states now accept remote online notarization (RON), which is the method built into the Postnup.com platform. It's legally valid, secure, and saves you the hassle of coordinating an in-person appointment.

What do we need to do with the postnup once it's signed and notarized?

Once your postnuptial agreement is signed and notarized, you should store it in a safe, secure location. We recommend keeping the original document (or a certified copy) in a fireproof safe, a safe deposit box at your bank, or with a trusted attorney. Each spouse should have their own copy for their personal records.

You do not need to file your postnuptial agreement with any court or government agency — it's a private contract between you and your spouse. However, it's a good idea to let your estate planning attorney or financial advisor know that the agreement exists, especially if it affects how assets or property should be handled. Your Postnup.com attorney can provide additional guidance on storage and next steps specific to your state.

Financial disclosure Disclosing your assets, debts & liabilities to your partner is important for the enforceability of your agreement.

What kind of information does the financial disclosure ask for?

The financial disclosure in Postnup.com asks each spouse to provide a complete picture of their financial situation. This typically includes: income and employment details, bank accounts and savings, investment and brokerage accounts, retirement accounts and pensions, real estate and property ownership, business interests and ownership stakes, vehicles and other valuable personal property, debts such as student loans, credit cards, mortgages, and other liabilities, and any expected inheritances or trusts.

The goal is transparency. Full financial disclosure is one of the most critical factors in making your postnuptial agreement enforceable. The questionnaire walks you through each category step by step so nothing gets overlooked.

What documentation should I gather to help me complete the financial disclosure?

Before starting the questionnaire, it's helpful to have the following on hand: recent pay stubs or proof of income, bank and savings account statements, investment and brokerage account statements, retirement account statements (401k, IRA, pension), mortgage statements and property deeds, car titles and loan statements, credit card statements and outstanding debt balances, business financial statements or tax returns (if you own a business), and any trust or inheritance documentation.

You don't need to have everything perfectly organized before you begin — the Postnup.com questionnaire will guide you through what's needed at each step. But having these documents nearby will make the process faster and ensure your disclosure is accurate and complete.

Do I need to upload any of this financial documentation to the app?

The Postnup.com questionnaire primarily asks you to provide the details of your financial information — such as account values, property descriptions, and debt amounts — directly in the platform. Whether or not you need to upload supporting documents depends on your state's specific requirements and your attorney's recommendations.

Your dedicated Postnup.com attorney can advise you on whether uploading supporting documentation (like account statements or property deeds) is necessary or recommended to strengthen your agreement's enforceability in your state. When in doubt, having documentation ready is always a good idea.

My spouse doesn't have any assets. Do they still need to complete a financial disclosure?

Yes — both spouses must complete the financial disclosure, even if one spouse has few or no assets. The disclosure isn't just about listing what you own. It also covers income, debts, and financial obligations. A spouse with no assets may still have student loans, credit card debt, or other liabilities that need to be disclosed.

More importantly, both spouses completing the disclosure is a legal requirement for enforceability. If one spouse skips the financial disclosure, the other could later argue they weren't given a complete picture of the couple's financial situation — which could be grounds for the entire agreement to be challenged in court. Completing the disclosure protects both of you.

Can I include overseas assets?

Yes — you should include overseas assets in your financial disclosure. Full transparency is essential for the enforceability of your postnuptial agreement, and that means disclosing all assets regardless of where they are located. This includes foreign bank accounts, international real estate, overseas business interests, and any other assets held outside the United States.

Keep in mind that while your Postnup.com agreement is governed by U.S. state law, failing to disclose foreign assets could be grounds for the agreement to be challenged later. Your dedicated attorney can help you understand how international assets factor into your agreement and whether any additional considerations apply based on your state's laws.

Do you offer translation services?

At this time, Postnup.com does not offer translation services. Our platform and all postnuptial agreements are generated in English. If you or your spouse require a translated version of the agreement, we recommend working with a certified legal translator independently to create a translated copy.

Keep in mind that the English version of your agreement will be the legally binding document. A translated version can serve as a reference to help a non-English-speaking spouse understand the terms, but your dedicated Postnup.com attorney can also help walk your spouse through the agreement to ensure they fully understand what they're signing.

My spouse resides in another country. Can we still complete the postnup process?

In most cases, yes — you can still complete the postnup process through Postnup.com even if your spouse resides in another country. The collaborative platform and questionnaires can be completed from anywhere with an internet connection. Your postnuptial agreement will be governed by the laws of the U.S. state where you reside.

The main consideration is notarization. Some states have specific requirements around remote online notarization for parties located outside the U.S. We recommend reaching out to the Postnup.com team to discuss your specific situation so we can advise on the best path forward. Your dedicated attorney can also help navigate any complications related to your spouse's location.

Would the postnup be enforceable in another country outside of the U.S.?

A postnuptial agreement created through Postnup.com is designed to be enforceable under U.S. state law — specifically the state you select during the process. Whether it would be recognized or enforced in another country depends entirely on that country's laws regarding marital agreements.

Some countries may recognize a U.S. postnuptial agreement, while others may not — or may only enforce certain provisions. If international enforceability is a concern for you, we strongly recommend discussing this with your Postnup.com attorney and potentially consulting with a legal professional in the relevant country. Your attorney can help you understand the limitations and advise on any additional steps that might strengthen your agreement's standing internationally.
