Postnuptial Agreement Attorney in Dallas
Drafting a Comprehensive Postnuptial Agreement
A postnuptial agreement is a contract drafted by an attorney which states your agreements on how finances and property will be dealt with in the event of a divorce. It is called a postnuptial because it is created "post" (after) the marriage has begun.
Postnups can cover a variety of issues, including:
- How property, assets, and debts should be divided in a divorce
- Whether spousal support is required, and if so, for how long
- If one spouse passes, who will inherit certain assets
A post-marital agreement may be pursued between two spouses whose marriage may be in trouble and may not continue much longer. It can also be utilized by any married couple where one does not want to be attached to a risky business venture in the case of the marriage ending. For whatever reason you feel a postnuptial agreement would benefit you and your spouse, our firm's family law attorneys are here to guide you through the process.
What Are the Benefits of a Postnup?
Similar to prenuptial agreements, postnuptial agreements can offer couples a number of benefits:
- Peace of mind: Both partners can be given security and peace of mind through the creation of postnuptials which fulfill either end of their concerns.
- Establish expectations: Each party can state their expectations financially should the marriage cease, such as whether alimony obligations should exist.
- Efficient separation in the event of divorce: If there is a postnup, many of the contentious issues that arise during a divorce may already be covered in the postnup, which can make the divorce process less stressful and more efficient.
