Prenuptial Agreements

Colorado Springs Prenuptial Agreement Attorneys

If you are about to get married, the last thing on your mind is divorce. However, more and more couples are deciding to enter into prenuptial agreements as a way to find common ground regarding their financial situations and come to understanding regarding their expectations for one another.

Creating a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement can be a great way to strengthen your marriage and protect your financial rights in case of a future divorce. In addition to the asset protection it offers, a prenup can further the understanding between you and your spouse regarding present financial obligations.

When you contact the Marrison Law Firm, our lawyers can help you create a prenuptial agreement that works for both you and your partner.

Your Marital Agreement Options

A prenuptial agreement can cover most financial aspects of your marriage that would be affected by a divorce. From property division to spousal support, you can come up with a plan that keeps your long-term goals in mind and protects your own individual assets. However, generally a prenup cannot deal with future child support, custody, visitation or other parental rights and responsibilities.

We help all types of couples come up with plans for their future:

• Premarital Agreement: The second you get married, your financial future changes. By signing a prenuptial agreement, you can secure valuable rights before you sign them away and agree that separate property will not be subject to asset division in the event the marriage ends in a divorce.
• Postmarital Agreement: Some couples only start to understand the full impact of their marriage on their financial situation after they have been married. We can help you create a postmarital agreement that functions much in the same way as a premarital agreement.

The goal of a prenuptial agreement is to put you and your future spouse on the same page when it comes to your finances. While it offers you a chance to protect your personal assets, it also gives you a chance to reach a better understanding with your partner. Our firm believes that a prenuptial agreement is not a threat, but an opportunity for understanding.
