Security with Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

Although most couples desire to remain together forever, oftentimes, unexpected issues arise that damage or change a relationship. By entering into a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement, you can seek to protect your individual assets acquired before or during the marriage. Beaches Family Law, P.A. has experience drafting and negotiating, and litigating the validity of prenuptial and postnuptial agreements.

The critical difference between a prenuptial and postnuptial agreement hinges on when the agreement is signed. A prenuptial agreement is entered into and signed before the marriage. A postnuptial agreement is entered into and after the marriage.

Why Should I Obtain a Prenuptial or Postnuptial Agreement?

Entering into a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement can provide you with financial security and frequently streamlines the dissolution of the marriage process. Here are a few reasons that you may want to draft an agreement:

1. This is your second marriage, and you desire to secure your assets for your children from your first marriage.

2. You own a business you seek to protect from your spouse.

3. You simply desire to protect your hard-earned money and assets if something goes wrong.
