New York City Prenuptial Agreement Lawyer
Manhattan Marriage Contract Attorney
There are many situations for which prenuptial agreements are invaluable for couples entering into marriage. They provide security and peace of mind regarding issues of child custody, child support and property distribution. This can save time, money and frustration down the road if the marriage unfortunately ends in divorce.
Before you enter into a premarital agreement, you should fully address all of the concerns that might become areas of dispute in the event of a later divorce. As a family law attorney serving clients throughout New York City, I am experienced in helping couples negotiate and draft prenuptial agreements that will work for the future.
Prenuptial agreements are not documents that predict a marriage will end in divorce. They are marriage contracts that can provide protection just in case problems do arise. It is wise to plan for the future — not just for yourself, but for your partner and any children you may have.
Benefits of a Prenuptial Agreement
While prenuptial agreements can certainly benefit families and individuals who have complex assets and high-net-worth estates, they can also work for any person who owns a business, has other significant assets, or has children from a previous marriage. A prenuptial agreement not only covers division of assets upon divorce, it also outlines steps to take in the event of death.
A prenuptial agreement can:
- Define property as marital property or separate property and outline property distribution
- Influence wills, trusts and estate plans
- Provide for the care of a loved one
- Reduce conflicts over issues of spousal support
Disagreements are a lot tougher to resolve during a divorce, when emotions are running high, than prior to marriage when both parties are more willing to cooperate. A prenuptial agreement may provide a healthy safeguard for your future, in the event problems arise.
Consider a Marital Contract Before Your Marriage
Open communication and effective planning are effective tools when entering a marriage. Drafting a prenuptial agreement may be in your best interest and talking with an experienced New York City prenuptial agreement lawyer is the first step in the process.
