PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENTS

The premarital contract gained recognition in popular culture as something that rich people, usually men, do to protect their wealth. In reality, prenuptial agreements may be a good tool for many people, and it can accomplish more than just allowing the old guy to keep his expensive car if the couple splits up. These agreements can make clear who gets what in the event of a marital dissolution, even when neither spouse has much in the way of assets. Also, couples may be able to avoid a long and expensive divorce by clarifying matters like property distribution and custody in the early states when couples get along better.

Of course, status changes and feelings change in relationships. So then, these agreements might also change. Whether you are creating a prenuptial agreement or looking to modify one or rip it up and start over, we at the Law Office of Raleigh D. Kalbfleisch can help. We understand the nature of these agreements, that they are essentially contracts between two parties. That may not be the most romantic stance. However, having a good premarital agreement is about two parties communicating with each other to reach a mutual agreement, which may be what marriage is about.
