Pre-Nuptial Agreements: Protecting the Future of Both Partners
Oct 15, 2021
Prenuptial agreements are designed to protect anyone with the foresight to understand that the ups and downs of matrimony may pose a threat to their long-term security. The attorneys of Levitsky Law Firm frequently work with clients with family law disputes, some with prenuptial agreements and some without. Without a doubt, those who have such an agreement have far more leverage in divorce negotiations than those who do not.
Prenuptial agreements are not just for the wealthy. This type of legal service is not prohibitively expensive, certainly not more expensive than the average wedding. As any good Brooklyn Divorce Attorney will tell you, a prenuptial agreement can protect you from losing everything you have worked for your entire life to build and earn. It can protect you from being forced to pay out more than you need to live well after a divorce.
What Does a Prenuptial Cover?
These agreements protect partners who have a substantial wealth disparity between them. They protect the wealth of the wealthier partner, certainly, but they also protect the less wealthy partner from losing the value of domestic labor or other uncompensated work.
In most cases, such an agreement should include the following:
- Separate & Marital Property
- Savings & Spending Strategies
- Financial Obligations During Marriage
- Debt Liability
- Family Property
- Estate Plans
- Property Distribution
- Alimony and Spousal Support
Prenuptial Agreements do not cover:
- Child Custody
- Child Support
- Forfeited Alimony Rights
- Any Clearly Illegal or Unfair Demands
- Lifestyle Clauses
