Familly Law Attorneys Assist Clients with Post Marriage Contracts in DuPage County, IL
In the past, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements were met with skepticism and social stigma. Why, people would ask, are you planning for divorce before you get married? This is simply not the case. These documents are now seen more as a tool for organizing property and keeping marital assets clearly defined.
At Andrew Cores Family Law Group, our DuPage County postnuptial agreement attorneys have decades of combined experience guiding clients through a wide range of family law matters. We have helped many couples draft prenuptial agreements (prior to marriage) and postnuptial agreements (during marriage) to clearly organize ownership of their assets and debts.
Post-Marital Contract Attorneys in Wheaton
Postnuptial agreements, which are also known as "postnups," may address the same issues as prenuptial agreements. They can specify whether certain assets will be categorized as either marital property or separate property, and they can detail how the division of marital property will be handled during a divorce. A postnup can also make decisions about spousal maintenance/alimony, including the circumstances in which alimony will or will not be paid following a divorce, the amount that one spouse may pay to the other, and the amount of time they will make ongoing payments. Ultimately, a postnuptial agreement may address financial concerns, ensuring that spouses understand what will happen if they choose to get divorced in the future.
If a postnuptial agreement is not drafted to exacting legal standards, it can become difficult to enforce if a divorce becomes a reality. Our lawyers have a thorough understanding of family law and the divorce process. Clients trust us to guide them through developing a detailed and effective post-marital contract. Do not hesitate to contact our firm to discuss matters in your specific situation.
It is important to understand that verbal agreements are often not enforceable in a court of law. It is necessary to put your agreements in writing if you wish to have an agreement that can be enforced in the future, if necessary. Our firm can ensure that you complete all necessary steps and draft an effective document.
