Discuss Your Marital Agreement with Board Certified Family Law Specialists

Most people ready to tie the knot are not thinking about a divorce or their death. While only the latter of these two is inevitable, the other is certainly a possibility. Because of this, it is wise to enter into marriage having made special arrangements regarding the protection of assets. This is especially true for couples where one or both parties have a high net worth, although couples of any means can benefit.

If you would like to ensure that your property will be divided according to your wishes upon your death or in the event of divorce, our Denton prenuptial and postnuptial agreement lawyers can help. Coker, Robb & Cannon, Family Lawyers can be trusted to help you develop and enforce a plan for the future.

Prenuptial Agreements in Denton & Collin Counties

If you are concerned about maintaining what you already cherish as you enter into the union of marriage, a prenuptial agreement can provide the peace of mind you desire.

Prenuptial agreements are used by couples to set forth how they want their money, assets, and property divided in the event of a divorce or death. An experienced family law attorney can help you and your partner determine if this type of agreement is right for you.

A prenuptial agreement might be a good idea if:

• One partner is starting a business
• One partner is about to receive an inheritance
• One partner would like to pass separate property to children from prior marriages
• The couple wants protection from each other’s debts
• The couple wishes to avoid arguments in case of divorce
• The couple wants to clarify each partner’s financial rights and responsibilities

How Postnuptial Agreements Differ from Prenups

As established above, prenuptial agreements are made before a couple gets married. Postnuptial agreements, on the other hand, can only be created by couples who are already married. These agreements are used to determine the rights of the parties to their marital property both during the marriage and in the event of a separation or divorce.

A postnuptial agreement will only be upheld by a court if:

• It is fair and equitable
• It is free from fraud, coercion, or undue influence
• It was made by parties whose decisions were fully informed
