Prenuptial Agreement Lawyer in Nassau County
About Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
A Garden City Prenuptial Agreement attorney at our firm can help if you are interested in getting help in drafting, reviewing or challenging a Prenuptial Agreement or Postnuptial Agreement. These matters have the potential to be complex and also to have a significant impact on your financial stability and future. An experienced lawyer can help you make the right choices and can help ensure that your interests are protected. Under New York State Domestic Relations Law, prior to marrying, parties can enter into a Prenuptial Agreement, and after marriage, parties can enter into a Postnuptial Agreement to define the rights of the parties. Such agreements, when properly drafted and executed, are fully enforceable contracts that interpret the following issues:
- Distribution of Assets and Debts
- Custody of Children
- Amount of Child Support
- Amount and term of Maintenance (alimony)
- Rights to the Estate of a Spouse
- Other rights relative to the marital relationship
"A prenuptial agreement or postnuptial agreement is a very effective method to clarify the rights and obligations of you and your significant other, and to reduce the uncertainty, disagreement and emotional turmoil that having a court determine your rights would entail."
Many times parties find it advantageous to make arrangements by either a Prenuptial Agreement or Postnuptial Agreement rather than leave the issues to be determined by a court if there is a breakdown in the marital relationship and a subsequent action for divorce or separation. There may be assets that need to be protected or children from a prior marriage for which a client wants to provide estate rights.
