Prenuptial And Postnuptial Agreements
If you are thinking of having a prenuptial agreement drawn up before your wedding, it’s important for you to know two things:
- Time limits and strict procedure restrictions must be met when making a premarital agreement. It’s important to contact a skilled family law attorney as soon as possible. Calling a few days before your wedding may be too late.
- Your prenuptial agreement must be written well enough to be able to withstand any challenge in court. Should your marriage end in divorce, your spouse’s attorney may attempt to ask the court to set aside the prenuptial agreement.
Postnuptial Agreements
Sometimes a couple may decide to do draft an agreement after they have been legally married that sets forth the terms of property distribution and alimony in the event of future divorce. Alison B. Copley and Brett P. Hargaden provide representation for the preparation of a postnuptial agreement. A prenuptial needs the marriage to take place to become binding, whereas a postnuptial becomes legal as soon as the parties sign it. If you are already married but are interested in drafting a postnuptial, contact our team today at 863-385-8740 for your consultation.
