About Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements

Prenuptial agreements, sometimes called premarital agreements, are made between couples that want to clearly and legally establish the details of the assets and property they are bringing into the marriage so that there is no dispute in case the marriage is dissolved at some later time.  It is also possible for couples that are already married to enter into a postnuptial agreement that does essentially the same thing.  Such agreements will often be contested by one or the other in the emotional fallout of a divorce proceeding and it is important for such a contract to be rigorously prepared and able to withstand the legal scrutiny of the court.  If you are considering drafting a pre or postnuptial agreement you should consult with a Phoenix divorce attorney at The Wallin Law Group.  We are prepared to help you prepare your agreement that satisfies the exacting standards required to protect your assets.

Assets and property distribution in an Phoenix divorce is normally done under community property regulations.  This means that all assets and property are considered to belong to both spouses no matter whose name they may be registered.  A prenuptial agreement can be used to suspend or modify such distribution.  Mr. Wallin is well versed in preparing detailed pre and postnuptial agreements to best serve his client's needs and protect their property and assets.

Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreement Attorney in Phoenix

Community distribution during a divorce can become complex when there are both old and new assets as well as old and new debts that become difficult to isolate from each other.  A postnuptial agreement can help clarify for both parties what their individual contributions and ownership is when one of them starts a new business during the marriage.  In situations where there is a large difference in the income or assets prior to the marriage, a prenuptial can clarify what each party's expectations and rights are.  Call our offices today to get your questions answered about pre and postnuptial agreements.
