Protect Your Assets
It is important if you are contemplating marriage to ensure that your assets are protected in the possible event of a future separation or divorce. In the current environment, when divorce is so common, you should speak with an experienced lawyer if you want a prenuptial agreement or are looking for advice about prenuptial negotiations.
We have been developing an efficient and effective family law practice for the past 18 years. Attorney Marguerite Nealon has been in the legal profession for 20 years and she can use her experience to help you with all aspects of your prenuptial agreement.
Basics of a Prenuptial Agreement
There are some basic aspects of a prenuptial agreement that you should know:
- It is binding and enforceable.
- The closer to the marriage date that it is signed, the less likely it is that a court will honor it down the road in the event of a divorce.
- People tend to waive their marital rights in a prenuptial agreement.
- A prenuptial agreement, like any contract, cannot be valid if one of the parties entered into it as a result of coercion or duress.
- Signing a prenuptial agreement can often set the tone for the entire marriage.
- Each party should have representation, and should take the time to make sure both parties fully understand what they are agreeing to.
What We Do:
- Review your assets to help you draft a prenuptial agreement or change a proposed agreement
- Review drafts of an agreement to make sure you understand everything it entails
- Negotiate the aspects of an agreement with the other party
- Look out for details that can fall through the cracks
