SAMPLE  PRENUPTIAL  AGREEMENT

   Due to the Hundreds of Requests of American Men Who Intend to Marry Filipina, Pinay from Philippines, The following Prenuptial Agreement Is Provided As Information Only. It is not meant to serve as a substitute for counsel.  Prenuptials are not yet common in the Philippines, except for those who enjoy wealth and/or fame. However, they are increasing in popularity and provide minimal protection for both parties. Since there is no such thing as "Divorce" in the Philippines, please not that the verbiage also includes "separations and/or annulments", which are in fact legal in the Philippines.
   Our Attorneys Have Stated that it is wise to have one completed both in the Philippines prior to the fiancée or wife's arrival in United States, and another as soon as possible before the marriage.
   One other important fact in favor of prenuptial agreements is that if there is a previous wife with child support orders, alimony, etc., the prenuptial can help to protect the new Filipina asawa (wife), and also in regards to past tax debts.     Good Luck, God Bless, and Mabuhay!
