The term Nuptial Agreement refers to Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements.  The only difference between the two is a Prenuptial Agreement is an agreement signed before the wedding, and a Postnuptial Agreement is signed during the marriage.  All Nuptial Agreements, however, typically address the division of assets, support obligations, and payment of attorney's fees in the event of divorce. Most importantly, they can save tens of thousands of dollars in litigation expenses, and protect hundreds of thousands of dollars or more in assets depending on the size of the estate. 

After you have elected to take the step of preparing a Nuptial Agreement, you will be provided with basic questions to answer regarding your overall goals and any specific terms you would like to include within the Agreement. You will then also be asked to provide a detailed list of your assets, income and liabilities. Once you have provided that information, our expert team will draft your Agreement for your review and approval.  We will then work with you to make any revisions you like, as well as to offer guidance on what can and cannot be included within the Agreement. 

Every state has different laws regarding what can and cannot be included with a Nuptial Agreement. However, there are some universal truths. For example, provisions for alimony, division of assets and payment of attorney's fees can always be included within a Nuptial Agreement. However, any provisions regarding child support or child custody cannot be included and will still be left to the Court.
