Do I Need a Prenuptial Agreement Lawyer?

Prenuptial agreements are legally binding documents that can have a lasting impact on your long-term financial stability and the rights of your spouse. Prenuptial agreements are not a solution for every couple, but in many situations, they are necessary to determine the division of assets, make distinctions between separate and marital property, protect family property or businesses, and specify alimony payments should your marriage end in divorce.

Only an experienced family law attorney has the skills needed to address all of these vital details in a prenuptial agreement. In fact, if you choose to try to create a prenuptial agreement without an attorney’s help, you will be barred from including some information, such as information about alimony payments, and you may invalidate the agreement altogether. If you choose not to hire a lawyer, you will have to complete other requirements, making the process much more confusing and stressful than it needs to be.

He will meet with you to discuss your legal questions and concerns, determining the type of prenup that best fits your family and financial situation.

How We Can Help

Prenuptial agreements are designed to suit each couple’s unique situation. These arrangements address the assets, property, and rights of each spouse and often address issues such as:

• Division of assets
• Specifying what is separate vs. marital property
• Inheritance rights
• Alimony

Prenuptial agreements can include provisions about any financial matter, both throughout the relationship and in the event of divorce, as long as your agreement does not violate any laws. Prenuptial agreements generally cannot specify anything about child custody or visitation, as the court will always have final say in these arrangements to ensure the best interest of the child.

Almost without exception, a couple is likely to have a much more contentious relationship at the time of a divorce than prior to the marriage. This makes it much easier to resolve concerns regarding premarital assets and circumstances before the marriage rather than afterward. Prenuptial agreements are intended to help couples take necessary steps to protect themselves in the future. They are a practical way to minimize potential complications and offer a form of security to a couple as they prepare for marriage.
