Handling Prenuptial Agreements for Clients in the Tampa Bay Area

Prenuptial Agreements (Before you Marry)

Prenuptial Agreements are agreements entered into before you marry, that can save money, preserve business and property ownership, protect any future inheritances, and avoid costly, lengthy and sometimes bitter divorce litigation. A well-written prenuptial or postnuptial agreement can protect your assets from future claims of your spouse and give you the peace of mind that your spouse is married to you for reasons other than financial gain.

Marital Settlement Agreements (If your marriage is ending)

A properly drafted Marital Settlement Agreement written by an experienced attorney will protect your interests and ensure that what you have orally agreed to is binding and legally enforceable. Agreements between parties in all divorce cases must be in writing. Make sure your Marital Settlement Agreement specifically and accurately addresses such issues as current and future child support, obligations to pay marital debts, and tax liabilities. Often these issues are inadvertently left out of agreements, and parties have to spend thousands of dollars in future legal fees to correct the omissions. A Marital Settlement Agreement can be submitted to the court and avoid litigation and expense.
