Prenuptial / Postnuptial Agreements

San Mateo Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements Lawyer

Prenuptial Agreements

Clients often acquire assets prior to marriage that they want to ensure they will keep in case of divorce. In order to protect premarital assets, you need to have a prenuptial agreement drawn up. This agreement is legally binding during the marriage and upon divorce. Having a prenuptial agreement relieves stress of not knowing if your premarital assets will be taken from you if you divorce. It also relieves the financial burden of litigating over such assets. Full disclosure of assets and property is required, to establish a legal prenuptial agreement. At JC Law Offices we assist with preparation and review of prenuptial agreements. Contact us to learn more.

Postnuptial Agreements

Postnuptial agreements or "marital agreements" are created during marriage to reallocate marital property and assets, as well as rights and obligations, according to the spouses’. One of the benefits of postnuptial agreements is the spouses make the decision on how to divide property, not the court.

Domestic Partnership Agreements

Domestic partnership agreements contain similar protections and rights to property acquired during the partnership. Domestic partnership agreements play an instrumental role in protecting the contributions and wishes of the partners. California law has recently established community property recognition in domestic partnerships, a right to partner support, and child custody and visitation matters as being the responsibility of both partners involved.
