Hiring An Attorney For A Prenuptial Agreement

When you are about to get married to the love of your life, the last thing on your mind is a prenuptial agreement. You just can’t wait to spend the rest of your life in a dream! However, obtaining a prenuptial agreement is extremely important just to give peace of mind that you are both protected from hurting each other.

At the Law Office of Jordan B. Rickards, we are able to provide you with expert family law services, including prenuptial agreements. Creating a prenuptial agreement will be helpful for both partners, as you will both disclose financial assets, create rights and responsibilities within the marriage, and discuss how the properties will be divided in case of a divorce or death of one of the partners. If you are ready to get started on your prenuptial agreement, contact our New Jersey law office today!

Providing For Children

One of the benefits of a prenuptial agreement is that it will include portions that will protect the interests of children from previous relationships if you or your soon-to-be spouse has any. Children from previous marriages or relationships can get property rights and inherit property in the event of the death of one of the partners. This will allow them to still get everything they are entitled to as children of the parent in the event of the unfortunate and early death of the parent.

Separate Properties

In the prenuptial agreement, you will be able to specify whether assets acquired during marriage are part of the joint marital estate or if they will be a separate property of one spouse or the other. In general, partners in marriage will be joint owners of a property purchased during the marriage, so if you want something to remain separate you will need to include that into your prenuptial agreement.

Property Division in a Divorce

Sadly, many marriages end in divorce. If there is not a prenuptial agreement prior to the divorce, everything purchased during the marriage will legally be divided between both partners. If you want to ensure that you are still entitled to all of your belongings if you and your partner end up splitting up, creating a prenuptial agreement is imperative.

Make Your Marriage Successful With Prenuptials

The prenuptial agreement can save you and your partner both a lot of tension down the road. Whether it is due to divorce or other circumstances, you will always have this binding document to help you wade your way through any of the confusion regarding rights and ownership of property. As long as you have both disclosed your full assets to your partner and your agreement works to protect the interest of both partners, your prenuptial agreement will be valid.
