Attorney Larison can help you plan for the future, identify concerns that need to be addressed, and draft a prenuptial agreement that is based on your individual needs and interests.

Reasons to get a prenuptial agreement

When couples divorce without a premarital agreement, and they cannot work out issues regarding division of property and spousal support on their own, the court will use its own guidelines to come to a decision. A prenuptial agreement gives you the control over these possible future issues prior to the marriage taking place. Reasons for a prenuptial agreement may include:

• Large difference in income or wealth between the spouses
• High debt load for one or both spouses
• One or both spouses own a business or part of a business
• Ensuring an estate plan that protects your children
• One or both spouses are remarrying and have children and/or support obligations from a previous marriage
• One or both spouses have significant assets that were acquired prior to the new marriage

In order to make a prenuptial agreement effective, both parties must agree to a full disclosure of assets and debts, and there must be a sufficient time frame between the signing of the document and the marriage. There are strict protocols to follow when entering into a successful prenuptial agreement, and Gena R. Larison can ensure that yours is drafted correctly.
