Prenuptial Agreements and Child Custody

No one buys insurance because they expect to get into an accident. The same principle applies to a prenuptial agreement.

A good agreement is most useful before a conflict arises. While both parties are able to communicate calmly, they can decide in advance what will remain separate property, what will be considered marital property, how assets and debts will be handled, and what will happen to a business or real estate acquired before marriage. These terms can be clearly documented from the beginning.

Child-related matters are a separate issue. Custody, paternity, and visitation are often best addressed outside of court whenever possible. Clear agreements can help protect the child’s interests and reduce future conflict between the parents.

We prepare prenuptial agreements, child custody agreements, paternity documents, and legal name change filings. Each matter is handled according to your specific situation and applicable state law.
