Preparing You For The Future With Prenuptial Agreements
Whether you call it a prenuptial agreement, prenup or premarital agreement, these documents are simply contracts between two unmarried people that decide the terms of a Florida or Georgia divorce before the couple marries. At the Law Office of A. James Mullaney, I have over 24 years of experience preparing these documents for my clients.
Why Should I Consider A Prenup?
There are many reasons why you should consider a prenuptial agreement. Among the main reasons are:
- One or both parties have substantial assets to protect (since the separate property may become marital property during the marriage)
- To protect a child from a previous relationship’s future inheritance
- To remove some of the animosity and financial uncertainty from a future potential divorce
Most clients want to know if prenuptial agreements will stand up in court. Generally, the answer is yes – as long as the agreement was prepared correctly. A prenuptial agreement could be invalidated in the following situations:
- Failure to make a full financial disclosure
- Existence of fraud, duress or coercion
- Failure to make adequate provisions for the spouse with fewer assets
The case law that has developed around these situations is extensive. You should consult with an experienced marital law and divorce attorney in Jacksonville to learn more about these agreements.
