Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements

Birmingham Prenuptial Agreement Attorneys

Serving Jefferson County,  Walker County & Alabama

Today many marriages are made up of blended families, combining children from previous marriages. Other marriages are between people with substantial means and assets. Couples may find it worthwhile to meet with a qualified prenuptial / postnuptial lawyer to outline future rights and responsibilities – in particular, which assets and debts belong to whom.

Prenuptial Agreements Can Resolve

• What each side’s debts and assets are
• Which assets will be owned exclusively by which family members
• How future assets will be divided among children from previous marriages
• Who is responsible for debts incurred prior to the marriage
• Who is responsible for future costs of children, including college
• Which finances and assets are to be kept separate, out of the marriage
• How will money be managed in the new family
• Who will pay the bills
• Who will file tax returns

Prenuptial Agreements Can Help Avoid Disagreements Later

The best time to come to an understanding is always at the beginning of a partnership.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements Are Effective

If you should fail to create a prenuptial agreement before the wedding, all is not lost. Agreements can still be made at any time after the marriage is underway. Again, the two spouses seek to clarify their rights and obligations in the event of a split.  Property division and spousal maintenance are often times the focuses of postnuptial agreements.
