International Prenuptial Agreement Peru

[ermacdude999 0]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has any experience with a prenuptial agreement between the US and another country, specifically Peru.

I own a small business and am looking to protect what I have before going into the marriage.

If you have any experience or recommendations please let me know. Thanks.

Since you have the business before you are married: do not put her name on the business... if she does any work for the business, make her an employee and pay her appropriate wages...... If you feel you need a pre-nup,maybe you do not know her well enough to get married...

Its not that simple. You clearly don't understand prenups or the reason why people get them.

Does anyone else have any experience with Prenups?

The prenup would or would be not enforceable depending on the jurisdiction (country) where a divorce occurs. Additionally, I'd think it depends on where the marriage occured, to begin with. Thus, if a marriage occurs in a country that does not recognize it, I'd think you have a piece of paper that enforces nothing.

I'd say to get advice from an international family law attorney with the specifics.

I would agree. Consult attorneys both here in the US and in Peru. PM me and I might be able to refer you to an attorney friend of mine in Peru you could start that side of the discussion (if he doesn't know, he will be able to refer you to someone who does). You will need to check this (the US ... your particular jurisdiction) end, too, before you get yourself too far into attorney's fees only to discover you have an instrument that is not worth much at the end of the day.
