Your Prenuptial Attorney
Similar to insurance; the risk of needing it is always there
A prenuptial agreement is prepared prior to getting married. It is appropriate to have it drafted when you want to put an agreement in place and do not want the court to decide what happens to your property, assets, and debts should the unfortunate circumstance of a divorce occur. Although no one foresees getting divorced when they become engaged, it is similar to having insurance; the risk of needing it is always there and it is better to be protected than not.
We will discuss with you what property you have that you may want to go into your prenuptial agreement. Some property, you may not have thought about protecting. Whether you are of wealthy or moderate means, if you are more comfortable with predetermining what happens to your property if the marriage ended yourself, rather than having a judge do it for you, then a prenuptial agreement may be right for you.
Postnuptial Agreements
Prevent conflict with a legally enforceable arrangement
A postnuptial agreement is prepared after you get married. There are several reasons you may need one after marriage: you did not consider it before the wedding, you did not have enough time before the wedding to find an attorney, you acquired property that you did not have prior to the marriage, you have seen other people go through high-conflict divorces and want to avoid the drama and high conflict.
Whatever the reason, you feel you need a postnuptial agreement or prenuptial agreement, we will work with you to come up with the an enforceable postnuptial agreement tailored to your situation and circumstances. It will provide you with the protection you need.
