Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
Prenuptial agreements can be an important part of financial planning when getting married. Postnuptial agreements are an effective tool when protecting assets suddenly acquired by one spouse through gifts or inheritance, or where both spouses decide to separate their assets while remaining married. These marital agreements can create a roadmap for distribution of assets in the event of divorce and avoid costly litigation. Our Partners have extensive experience negotiating and drafting prenuptial and postnuptial agreements.
Prenuptial Agreements
Prenuptial Agreements are enforceable marital agreements that are entered into in contemplation of marriage. Prenuptial agreements often identify which assets will be treated as the separate property of one party and which assets will be treated as marital property. These agreements can also address support issues in the event of a divorce.
Prenuptial Agreements are legally complex and subject to challenge if not properly prepared with the assistance of an attorney.
Campagna Johnson Mady, P.C. has extensive experience in negotiating even the most complex prenuptial agreements involving high net worth individuals and businesses. We also have successfully challenged the validity of prenuptial agreements in litigation.
Postnuptial Agreements
Postnuptial Agreements generally carry the same force and effect of a prenuptial agreement, except that postnuptial agreements are entered into during marriage. They can be an effective tool in protecting a gift or inheritance received by one spouse, or where both spouses decide to segregate certain assets as separate property.
