Would you put your money in a bank if you knew there was only a 50% chance of getting it back? Would you get
on an airplane if there was only a 50% chance of getting to your destination safely? With recent statistics showing 50% of
all marriages will end in divorce, are you willing to take your chances? Would you gamble on your future and everything you've
worked hard to achieve? If not then why gamble now?
While enduring
happiness in marriage is always the goal, often times it will not work out and the parties will end up in a divorce. Why not address these odds with a contract that sets forth what will happen in the event that the
marriage fails.
We can prepare a pre-nuptial
agreement which is a legal document setting forth contractual obligations or freeing you of them so that in the unfortunate
event of a divorce, your respective wishes are met. It can alleviate much financial and emotional stress later down the road.
If you have been married and have not had a prenuptial agreement, we can also explain your rights and obligations with regard
to divorce, support and distribution of marital property.
It's
always best to have a plan. Often the best laid plans change.
Don't be driven by fear, just realize the potential.
Even if you are not rich there may be a great benefit to having a pre-nuptial agreement. Regular people can benefit from the
protections and provisions contained in a pre-nuptial agreement.
Maybe you own a business or one party is
bringing considerable debt (student loans) into the marriage. Perhaps you stand to receive an inheritance or want to leave
your wealth to children from a prior union. You might have significant savings or investment, property or collections. Rather,
you may simply prefer not to have to submit to a process where your financial future and support obligations may be calculated
in part using a formula and may be subject to distribution against your wishes.
You can remove these issues by having a document prepared before your marriage. Your future spouse can bring this document
to an independent attorney to review to ensure that their rights are protected and that it is fair.
We can speak to you to discuss how to craft your pre-nuptial agreement
so that it sets forths your wishes in a manner that is most likely to be upheld by a court later down the road. We will review
the full and fair disclosure of assets and can prepare you for possible challenges to certain wishes. Call today for
more information or to schedule a consultation at 412.303.9566.
