Understanding Prenuptial Agreements
A prenuptial agreement is also known as a "prenup," and it may address various financial issues and decide how certain matters will be handled if you get divorced in the future. When signing a prenup, you and your spouse will be required to disclose all relevant financial information to each other, including the income you earn, the assets you own, and the debts you owe. This can ensure that you will both have all the information needed to make informed decisions about how financial issues will be addressed in the future.
In general, a prenuptial agreement will detail how certain issues will be handled if you choose to get divorced. It may identify certain assets and state that they will be considered separate property that will not be divided between you and your spouse during a divorce. You can use your prenup to make decisions about how different types of marital property will be divided, and you can address issues related to spousal support. Your prenup may also address ownership rights to various assets, providing you and your spouse with an understanding of how various financial matters will be handled during your marriage.
The laws regarding prenuptial agreements are constantly changing, making it difficult to ensure the legality of an agreement without the advice of a knowledgeable attorney. Our lawyers stay up-to-date on the changes in case law, and we make sure to apply any new information to our clients' cases and situations. It is important that your prenuptial agreement fall within the bounds of any new laws, or you risk the agreement being null and void.
We also handle the creation of other marital agreements, such as >postnuptial agreements, and we can help negotiate favorable terms and ensure that an agreement will be legally valid and enforceable.
