A prenuptial agreement is a legal document that details all assets and debts for both you and your future spouse, respectively. It ensures that in the event of a divorce, the process of determining which assets go to which individual and how any debt accumulated over the course of the marriage will be handled.

Prenuptial Agreements Provide the Peace of Mind You and Your Loved One Need
It is important to note that prenuptial agreements protect both parties, as well as children. Typically, these agreements focus on how property will be handled.
They address a number of issues, including:
- How property will be passed on to children from a previous marriage in case you die before your new spouse
- How family heirlooms will be divided
- How family-owned businesses and business interests will be divided
- How alimony will be handled in the case of a divorce
In addition to handling prenuptial agreements, our law firm can assist with the creation of post-nuptial agreements. Essentially, crafting such an agreement serves to anticipate and resolve most of the major disputes involved in a divorce before they have a chance to cause problems for you and your spouse.
