A quasiprenup (short for “quasi-prenuptial agreement”) is an informal or alternative agreement made between individuals in a relationship, often in a domestic partnership or cohabitation arrangement, to outline financial, property, and other personal arrangements. Unlike formal prenuptial agreements, quasiprenups may not have the full legal enforceability of prenuptial contracts but serve as a clear understanding between the parties.
