While no couple wishes to consider the possibility of divorce early in a relationship, pre- and postnuptial agreements can clarify expectations and prove extremely beneficial in the event of a separation or death. If you hold significant assets from before your marriage, having an agreement drawn up by an experienced lawyer will protect your rights to those assets and investments during your marriage and in the unfortunate events of a divorce. A proper "prenup" should be a reasonable compromise that takes both parties' current and future situations in consideration and addresses all concerns.
Signing a prenuptial agreement during your wedding preparations may feel like a bureaucratic chore in the middle of an optimistic time, but it will be a practical solution that could prevent future conflict and even lead to a more transparent and amicable marriage.
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreement lawyer Louis Newman will create an agreement that is fair to both parties and that is worded to protect assets without any ambiguity in the language. Based on your unique situation, he can write clauses to protect the things that matter most to you, such as your ownership of a business, your inheritance from a loved one, or a child from a previous marriage.
