a pre-nuptial agreement is somewhat of a contract you and your fiance sets up with a lawyer before you guys get married. the contract states who gets what (like house, car, expensive things) just in case you guys decide to get a divorce later on, so there wouldn't be and disagreement on who gets what if the marriage gets to a divorce.

prenuptial agreement or antenuptial agreement, commonly abbreviated to prenup or prenupt, is a contract entered into by two people prior to marriage or civil union. The content of a prenuptial agreement can vary widely, but commonly includes provisions for the division of property should the couple divorce and any rights to spousal support during or after the dissolution of marriage.
There are two types of prenuptial agreements: marriage contract for people who are married or about to be married, and cohabitation agreement for unmarried couples. A variation for people who are already married is a postnuptial agreement.

It's a written contract stipulating that if the couple gets a divorce, what will the spouse be entitled to? It's sort of like making sure that a divorce won't wipe out everything a person owns.

It's an agreement to protect what you have when you went into the relationship so when divorced your partner can't claim half of it.

It settles how money and property will be divided in case of a divorce, and it's written up before the marriage takes place.
