A poorly-written prenuptial agreement can do more harm than good.
Without careful drafting and legal scrutiny, your agreement may not hold up in court, leaving you vulnerable to:
Unintended financial consequences
Costly and prolonged litigation
Unfair division of assets
Stress and uncertainty in the event of a divorce
Being left out of the financial decisions in your marriage
Being unprotected in the event the marriage ends
A strong, legally sound prenuptial agreement should (1) reflect your goals, (2) protect your assets, and (3) give you peace of mind. That’s what we are here for.
WHY get a prenup?
Build your future on a foundation of open communication & security.
Prenuptial agreements (also known as premaritial or antenuptial agreements and prenups) are not just about protecting assets; they are about fostering open and constructive conversations about your financial future. Our approach to prenuptial agreements is different from other family law attorneys because we facilitate the process with a focus on how a prenup actually strengthens your relationship rather than allowing it to create division. Viewing the process from this different perspective we have found opens up the lines of communication and builds on your mutual strengths and love. It can facilitate a richer and fuller dimension to your partnership.
We have observed firsthand how couples who engage in this process with mutual respect come out stronger, more united, and more confident in their partnership. We have seen it bring out the best in a couple.
A prenup is smart and thoughtful for couples who want to:
Ensure fairness and clarity for each other.
Protect their assets and financial futures.
Reduce the risk of future disputes and misunderstandings.
Start their marriage with mutual trust and confidence.
Bring hidden issues out in the open and encourage mutual problem solving.
You might want to consider a prenuptial agreement if you or your partner:
Own significant assets or property.
Have children from a previous marriage.
Want to clarify each party’s expectation of how you will manage your financial affairs during the marriage.
Simply want to have an open, honest discussion about financial expectations before marriage.
Expect to receive an inheritance or financial gift(s).
Want to avoid uncertainty in case of divorce or separation.
Have a business or professional practice to protect.
Have been married before and want to avoid unpleasant costly divorce proceedings.
A prenup isn’t about planning for divorce – it’s about building a marriage with transparency, mutual understanding, and shared financial goals.
