Prenuptial/Post-marital Agreements, Tacoma, Washington
Prenuptial or premarital agreements may appear contrary to the optimistic emotions prior to marriage, but they can be extremely valuable when marital bliss gives way to the stress and trauma of separation and divorce. Whether you have significant assets and are entering into a first marriage, or you have children from a prior relationship, it is wise to take steps to protect yourself, and your children and heirs, from what could turn into a nightmarish disaster if your marriage were to end in divorce. At Scholl Law Firm, P.S., we handle all aspects of pre- and post-marital agreements, from drafting, review and modification, to litigation in Court if the agreement is challenged.
A prenuptial agreement allows both parties to fully understand how a separation or divorce will impact their individual financial futures. Contact us to protect your rights and your financial security in the event of divorce.
Premarital contracts or prenuptial agreements
Many couples will find that a premarital contract allows them to discuss sensitive financial issues and create a plan that both parties agree to prior to marriage. These issues may include:
- How do I ensure that children from a prior relationship are taken care of?
- What should happen to the family business in the event of a divorce?
- How can I protect my assets in the event of a divorce?
Both parties to a prenuptial agreement need to be represented by independent counsel. If you have been asked to sign a prenuptial agreement, or want your future spouse to sign a prenuptial agreement, contact us for experienced, informed legal advice and representation throughout the process.
Post-marital agreements
Post-marital agreements are valuable for determining the ownership of property that either spouse obtains after the marriage. Protecting your rights in a post-marital agreement can be complicated and requires strategic and careful legal attention to ensure that the agreement will be enforceable in Court if it is ever challenged.
