Determining Property And Financial Rights In The Event Of Divorce

Establishing a prenuptial agreement (also known as a “prenup”) does not mean that you do not love or trust your spouse. Rather, it means you are willing to have open, honest communication.

I can write for you a prenuptial agreement, antenuptial agreement
and postnuptial agreement.

Why A Prenup Is Important

A prenuptial agreement establishes what will happen in the event of death or divorce.

There are many reasons for choosing to enter into a prenuptial agreement:

Does either party have children from another previous relationship?
Does either party have significant property or assets to bring into the marriage?
Does either party have interests in a small business?
Does the couple have specific parameters for how finances should be handled throughout the marriage?

A prenuptial agreement may address any of these issues and many other concerns that the parties discuss.

Steps To Creating A Prenuptual Agreement

In order for a prenuptial agreement to be upheld, there must be full disclosure of all assets and liabilities, both parties must have had opportunity to consult a lawyer and the agreement must be established in writing and signed by both parties.

I will help you through the process of establishing a valid prenuptial agreement and can also help to negotiate post-marital agreements (postnuptial agreements).
