Mississippi uses equitable distribution to divide marital property at divorce. Courts consider each spouse’s income, contributions to the marriage, length of the marriage, and other factors — but “equitable” doesn’t mean equal. A prenup lets you define your own division rules in advance, removing uncertainty about how a court might split your assets.
Your Clause prenup explicitly defines which property is separate and which is marital, overriding Mississippi's default equitable distribution rules with terms you both agree on.
Mississippi’s equitable distribution framework emerged from case law rather than statute. Ferguson v. Ferguson set the standard for how courts divide marital property, which prenups can now override with agreed-upon terms.
Attorney-drafted prenups typically cost $5,000 to $20,000 combined. Here's how Clause compares:
Yes. Mississippi courts enforce prenups that are properly executed under Miss. Code § 93-3-7; case law (Ferguson v. Ferguson, 1994). Courts examine whether the agreement was voluntary, whether both parties had access to the other’s financial information, and whether any terms were unconscionable at the time of signing.
