Pre-Marital and Post-Nuptial Agreements

​

Prior to marriage, couples may form pre-marital agreements, also known as pre-nuptial agreements, that establish how issues such as division of property and spousal support would be handled in the event of a divorce, separation, or death of one of the spouses. A pre-martial agreement is particularly useful where both spouses have gone through prior difficult divorces or one spouse has significantly more assets than the other. A pre-marital agreement can provide both spouses peace of mind and reduce some concerns prior to entering marriage.

​
There are several statutory requirements in order to create a valid premarital agreement, and legal representation for both parties is strongly recommended. The Law Offices of Justin Kirk Tabayoyon can help draft a pre-marital agreement. In addition, The Law Offices of Justin Kirk Tabayoyon can help form a post-marital agreement which can be entered into during the marriage that affects the couple's property rights, insurance benefits, wills and trusts, etc.
