Prenuptial Agreements are legal contracts entered into before marriage that outline the division of assets, debts, and other financial matters in the event of a divorce, or other dissolution of the marriage. These agreements help protect individual assets, define financial responsibilities, and provide clarity and security for both parties.
Our firm specializes in drafting tailored Prenuptial Agreements that reflect your unique circumstances and future plans. By addressing these issues upfront, you can prevent misunderstandings and disputes later on, ensuring a smooth and harmonious marital relationship.
Couples with significant assets, business interests, or children from previous relationships should consider a Prenuptial Agreement to protect their interests and clarify financial expectations.
Drafting a Prenuptial Agreement typically takes a few weeks, depending on the complexity of the assets and the level of detail required. Early planning is advisable to ensure thorough preparation.
Yes, a Prenuptial Agreement can be modified after marriage with the consent of both parties. However, it’s unlikely that one party will want to give up any benefit he/she may have, so you want to make sure you get it right the first time. The modifications should be documented in writing and may require legal advice.

Yes, Prenuptial Agreements are generally enforceable if they are fair, entered into voluntarily, and both parties fully disclose their assets and liabilities.
We start with an initial consultation to understand your needs and objectives. We explain the purpose and benefits of a Prenuptial Agreement and gather information about your assets and financial goals.
Either through the mediation process see Mediation, or we draft it on behalf of one party only.
Both parties must fully disclose their assets, debts, income, and financial obligations. This transparency is essential for the agreement’s enforceability and fairness.
Based on the information provided, we draft a customized Prenuptial Agreement that outlines the division of assets, financial responsibilities, and any other pertinent details. If it’s a mediation, then the draft is reviewed by both parties and their attorneys. If we draft the Agreement on behalf of only one party, then the other party MUST get an attorney to review the Agreement on their behalf.
Once both parties agree to the terms, the Prenuptial Agreement is finalized and signed in the presence of legal representatives. This ensures the document is legally binding and enforceable. Note: leave enough time for your fiance to read, think about the terms, and to have a consultation with an attorney. Prenuptial Agreements signed “on the alter” are likely to be overturned by a judge.
