Postnuptial agreements aren’t as prevalent as prenuptial agreements, but they exist. Unlike prenups that are entered into before marriage, postnuptial agreements are entered into after marriage. Other than this difference, they’re essentially the same as prenups. For instance, like a prenuptial, a postnuptial agreement must be voluntary, signed by both spouses, and can’t contain anything criminal or anything that impacts public policy.
Postnuptial agreements have to be negotiated and drafted carefully and with the guidance of a skilled lawyer. At San Diego Divorce Attorney, our postnuptial lawyers pay close attention to every one of our client’s circumstances, needs, and goals when negotiating, litigating, and drafting these agreements. Some postnuptial cases involve couples who might be going through marital-related problems but would be willing to try working things out if they felt their property is protected. If both sides agree, a postnuptial is a good way of preserving a marriage while still recognizing these personal interests.
Therefore, a post- or prenup agreement is key in determining given claims and rights during a legal separation or divorce process. Attorneys at the San Diego Divorce Attorney will ensure your post or prenup agreement is fully enforced to receive the benefits and protection you are entitled to.
