Prenuptial or antenuptial agreements are legally binding contracts made by individuals planning to marry. These agreements aim to establish the distribution of property rights during the marriage and in the event of marriage termination, either through death or dissolution. Indiana law tends to favor such agreements. Typically, these agreements must be documented in writing, provide a comprehensive disclosure of all assets before marriage, and carry the signatures of both spouses. It is generally advisable to negotiate and formalize prenuptial agreements well ahead of the planned wedding date, with each party having independent legal representation.
Because a prenuptial agreement allows parties to a marriage to define their respective property rights in the event their marriage ends in divorce, this will generally minimize the cost and length of time a divorce action takes. In the event a marriage ends in divorce, this allows the parties to a marriage to ensure their assets are divided consistent with their wishes.
A postnuptial agreement, sometimes referred to as a reconciliation agreement, is a document in which parties to a marriage determine their property interests in the event of death or divorce after they are already married. A postnuptial agreement requires that the parties either forgo filing a petition for dissolution or dismiss a pending petition for dissolution in exchange for entering into the agreement.

Yes, it is possible to have both a prenuptial and a postnuptial agreement. A prenuptial agreement is signed before marriage, establishing property rights, spousal support, and asset protection. A postnuptial agreement is created after marriage to address changes in financial circumstances, inheritance, or other personal arrangements. Together, they allow couples to fully customize their financial planning under Indiana law.
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are legally enforceable in Indiana if they meet statutory requirements. Both must be in writing, voluntarily signed by both parties, and include full disclosure of assets and liabilities. Independent legal representation for each party is highly recommended to prevent disputes and ensure enforceability.
While you can technically draft a postnuptial agreement without a lawyer, it is not recommended. Mistakes, unclear language, or incomplete disclosure can make the agreement invalid in court. Hiring an experienced Indiana postnuptial agreement lawyer ensures that the agreement is legally sound, customized to your needs, and enforceable under state law.
You should hire a postnuptial agreement lawyer when you want to protect your assets, clearly define property and debt responsibilities, or update your financial arrangements. A skilled attorney will make sure the agreement is enforceable and help prevent issues later.

Yes, if you are already married, you can create a postnuptial agreement. This serves a similar purpose as a prenup but is signed after marriage. Postnuptial agreements in Indiana can cover property division, spousal support, debt allocation, and estate planning.
Indiana courts evaluate prenuptial and postnuptial agreements by ensuring that both parties gave voluntary and informed consent, fully disclosed all assets and liabilities, and that the agreement was fair and reasonable at the time it was signed. Courts also consider whether each spouse had independent legal counsel. Agreements that meet these criteria are much more likely to be upheld during divorce proceedings.
The cost of a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement varies depending on complexity, number of assets, and whether litigation is needed. On average, drafting a standard Indiana prenup can cost between $1,500–$3,500, while more complex agreements may cost more. At Langer & Langer, we provide clear guidance and personalized consultations to ensure your agreements are legally enforceable and fit your budget.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
