Pre-nuptial and Post-nuptial Agreements

Pre-marital or post-marital agreements set out each party’s assets, debts and property rights and settle how division will be handled in the event of a divorce or death.  The Divorce Law Firm will craft agreements tailored to your situation.

A pre-nuptial agreement is designed to ensure your estate is distributed according to your wishes, protects property from your spouse and guards the interests of children from a previous marriage.

A post-nuptial agreement also is a voluntary contract, but it is drafted after marriage.  Post-nuptial agreements are used to resolve marital issues such as disagreements over finances, assets and children. Post-nuptial agreements can halt disputes and encourage harmonious living. Post-nuptial agreements also are useful when either spouse’s financial status changes through a career change, investments, inheritance or the sale of a business or real estate.

Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements are prudent, given the complexity of people’s economic situations today. Our firm will help identify property and ensure its future disposition is provided for and future litigation is avoided.
