Pre & Postnuptial Agreements

A prenuptial agreement is a legal document entered into before marriage; a post nuptial agreement is entered into after marriage. They both outline how assets and debts will be divided in the event of divorce or dissolution.

 We understand that discussing such agreements can be a sensitive topic and is often viewed as unromantic or pessimistic, but they can actually provide couples with peace of mind and clarity about their financial futures.

Here are some key reasons why you may want to consider a prenuptial agreement:

Protecting Assets: The agreement allows you to specify which assets will remain separate property and which will be considered marital property. This can be especially important if one or both parties have significant assets or debts before marriage.

Clarifying Financial Responsibilities: You can outline each spouse’s financial responsibilities during the marriage, such as managing joint expenses or contributing to savings accounts.

Preserving Family Wealth: If you have family valuables, businesses, or other assets that you want to keep within your family in the event of divorce, a pre or post-nuptial agreement can help safeguard these assets.

Avoiding Lengthy Legal Battles: In the unfortunate event of divorce, these agreements can streamline the process by clearly outlining how assets and debts will be divided, potentially reducing conflict and the need for costly litigation.

Our experienced family law experts can guide you through the process of creating a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement that addresses your unique needs and concerns.
