Do
You
Have
a
Business
?
你们是不是有自己的公司？
Think
about
your
jobs
.
If
one
of
you
owns
their
own
business
,
it
may
be
important
to
have
a
prenup
in
place
to
protect
the
business
assets
in
case
your
marriage
comes
to
an
end
.
Shaolaine
Loving
,
a
principal
attorney
,
says
that
a
prenup
can
protect
business
efforts
and
interests
.
想想你们的工作。如果你们之间有一个人有自己的公司，那签订婚前协议可能还是很重要的，因为万一离婚了，婚前协议还可以保护你的企业资产。首席律师
Shaolaine
Loving
说道，婚前协议可以保护企业投入和利益。
"
If
one
of
you
has
or
later
forms
a
business
,
then
laws
can
provide
that
your
spouse
deserves
half
of
whatever
income
or
assets
were
realized
during
the
marriage
,
or
that
your
spouse
should
receive
half
ownership
interest
.
You
can
dictate
in
a
prenup
so
that
you
keep
your
own
business
interests
.
Essentially
,
the
prenup
ensures
you
to
control
the
outcome
of
a
potential
divorce
."
"如果你们中有一个拥有或以后会成立一家公司，那么法律规定你的配偶应该得到婚姻期间该公司的一半收入或资产，或者你的配偶应该获得一半的所有权益。你可以在婚前协议中注明这一点，以此保护自己的企业利益。从本质上来说，婚前协议能确保你控制潜在离婚的结果。"
Do
Either
of
You
Have
Debt
?
你们俩有没有欠债？
Be
sure
to
have
an
open
and
honest
money
conversation
with
your
spouse
-
to
-
be
.
Do
they
have
any
outstanding
debt
?
If
so
,
how
much
?
Loving
says
that
if
debt
is
present
,
having
a
prenup
can
ensure
each
spouse's
debt
remains
in
their
name
.
请务必与您将来的配偶开诚布公的谈论财务状况。他们是不是欠下很多债？如果是这种情况，欠了多少？
Loving
表示，如果存在欠债的情况，签订婚前协议可以确保某人欠的债应该还是由他/她自己来还。
"
If
your
spouse
takes
out
a
credit
card
and
racks
up
a
bunch
of
charges
on
his
/
her
own
volition
,
then
you
can
ensure
you
won't
be
liable
for
that
spouse's
reckless
spending
habits
."
"如果你的配偶拿出一张信用卡挥霍，欠下了一大笔债，那你就可以不用为他/她那挥霍无度的习惯而
'
买单
'
了。"
Do
You
Plan
on
Moving
to
a
Different
State
?
你们有没有打算搬去另一个州生活？
While
you
might
be
cozy
living
in
the
state
that
you're
in
right
now
,
think
about
your
future
living
situation
.
If
you
might
be
moving
across
state
lines
,
it's
important
to
know
that
laws
are
different
based
on
where
you
live
.
虽然目前在这个州，你们的小日子很舒坦，但想想你们未来的生活境况吧。如果你们搬到了另一个州，那你要知道不同州的法律也是不一样的。
Elysa
Greenblatt

Greenblatt

said
, "
If
you
are
going
to
move
from
a
state
such
as
New
York
,
which
is
a
'separate
property'
state
,
to
a
state
such
as
California
,
which
is
a
'community
property'
state
,
you
should
have
a
prenup
.
Different
state
laws
could
mean
that
assets
you
never
thought
would
be
divided
in
a
divorce
are
subject
to
division
.
A
prenup
can
protect
those
assets
even
if
you
move
."
格林布拉特法律责任有限公司的一名律师伊莉莎·格林布拉特说道："如果你们打算从像纽约这样的州（这个州的财产独立）搬到像加利福尼亚那样的州（这个州的财产共享），那还是签订婚前协议为好。不同州的法律不同意味着你以为不会被分割的资产将面临被分割的可能。签订婚前协议后，即使你搬家了，这些资产也能受到保护。"
Do
You
Have
Complex
Assets
?
你们是否有复杂的资产？
Take
inventory
of
what
you
have
and
own
in
your
name
only
.
Are
those
things
you
want
to
keep
protected
in
case
your
relationship
ends
?
If
so
,
you
might
want
to
draft
up
a
prenup
.
盘点只属于你自己的物品吧。如果婚姻破灭，你是否想独自拥有这些物品？如果是，那还是起草一份婚前协议吧。
