The unfortunate truth is that not all marriages last, and the attorneys at Stock, Carlson & Asso. LLC understand this well-known fact.

This will put you ahead of the game and help you protect what belongs to you in case of a divorce.

The Advantages of a Prenuptial Agreement

Perhaps you have a business to protect. You may want to make sure your children are financially secure by making estate planning decisions about how ownership of your assets should be handled in the event of your death. By taking the time before your are married to define how your needs and the necessities of your family will be taken care of, you can create a prenuptial agreement (commonly known as a "prenup") that will provide a secure safety net if your marriage dissolves.

A prenup can include decisions about how property owned by you and your spouse will be divided in the event of divorce. This can include specifying that certain assets will be considered marital or non-marital property, or an agreement can decide how property division will be handled for assets you currently own or property that you expect to acquire in the future. A prenuptial agreement can also address the division of debts, and it can state whether either spouse will be awarded spousal maintenance (commonly known as alimony), as well as the amount and duration of these spousal support payments.

The attorneys of Stock, Carlson & Asso. LLC are available to provide you with practical legal counsel so that you can be informed about any prenuptial agreements you make with your future spouse. The decision to create a prenup and protect your personal investments could eliminate future marital disputes during either a divorce proceeding or legal separation. A prenuptial agreement will establish what is yours in a reasonable manner, before you take your vows, and it can help you avoid much of the uncertainty and confusion involved in the divorce process if your marriage should ever break down.
