Does a same sex prenuptial agreement work the same way as one for heterosexual couples?

Same sex couples follow the same rules that apply to all prenuptial agreements in New York. The agreement may outline how marital property, separate property, business interests, debts, and financial expectations would be addressed in the event of divorce. The law treats same sex marriages the same as heterosexual marriages for purposes of property division, which means couples can discuss many of the same topics in their agreement. The difference is that some same sex couples may have additional considerations, such as domestic partnerships, previous marriages, or blended families.
