Prenuptial Agreements and Pre-Divorce Planning
No one plans on getting a divorce before they are married, but divorce is an unfortunate reality for many couples. Many couples determine prior to a marriage that they want to create a legal document that defines their legal rights and responsibilities in the event of a divorce.
Agreements signed prior to marriage are called prenuptial agreements. A postnuptial agreement may also be drafted and executed after a couple has married. A cohabitation agreement may be helpful for men and women who live together, as well as same sex couples.

Separation Agreements
We also draft and review legal separation agreements for married couples that have decided to separate. A legal separation agreement can be quite comprehensive in nature and may touch on issues of custody, visitation, child support, alimony and temporary award of marital property. A legal separation agreement can also be used as part of divorce proceedings. In this scenario, the agreement may be called an "Opting Out Agreement." Such agreements can save clients time and money in the divorce process.
