What is the Prenup Infidelity Clause? - Richard Roman Shum

BSPE Legal Marketing Podcast

From Law Office of Richard Roman Shum, Esq – In this episode, we dive into the concept of the prenuptial infidelity clause as discussed in the article "What is the Prenup Infidelity Clause?". This clause, which imposes financial penalties on a spouse who commits adultery, is becoming a popular feature in prenuptial agreements for couples looking to safeguard their future in case of infidelity. While it may seem like a precautionary measure, especially for high-net-worth individuals, the inclusion of this clause can offer protection and provide clarity on financial consequences if marital boundaries are crossed.
At the Law Office of Richard Roman Shum, we understand that creating a prenuptial agreement with an infidelity clause requires careful legal guidance. In Manhattan, couples who are considering such a clause need to be aware of the legal complexities, particularly under New York family law, which generally does not enforce lifestyle clauses like those addressing fidelity. However, that doesn't mean an infidelity clause can’t serve as a deterrent or be useful in outlining mutual expectations, even if its enforceability is uncertain.
We also discuss how a well-drafted prenuptial agreement can address spousal support, asset division, and other financial concerns that are crucial to both parties. Whether protecting individual assets or ensuring that liabilities like debt are handled fairly, a prenup is a valuable tool for couples entering marriage with transparency and mutual understanding. The infidelity clause, in particular, raises important questions about fairness and the emotional impact of financial penalties for marital misconduct.
