Prenup Lawyer Bronxville, NY
Protect Yourself And Your Assets With A Smart Prenuptial Agreement
It’s not uncommon for the topic of a prenuptial agreement to spark a fight with your intended; these pre-marriage contracts get a bad reputation as a signal that the person bringing them up doesn’t believe that the marriage will last. At the Law Office of Daniel Clement, though, we view prenups differently: as a form of insurance. You don’t get in your car in the morning intending to wreck it, but if you get into a collision, you’ll be very glad you had good insurance coverage. Prenuptial agreements work in much the same way: simply a form of insurance you hope you’ll never need. If you’re getting married and have assets you want to protect or want to ensure that you’ll be treated fairly in a divorce, then you need a solid prenup.
Believing that asking for a prenuptial agreement spells doom for a marriage isn’t the only misconception many people have about these contracts. Prenups are intended to protect both parties, and our Bronxville, NY prenup lawyer can help you protect yourself, your rights, and everything you’re working hard for. Please contact us today for a consultation.
How An Experienced Family Law Attorney Protects You With A Prenup
New York is not a community property state for divorce. Instead of marital assets being divided equally, an NYC family law judge will divide them equitably, or fairly. Our experienced Bronxville prenup lawyers have often seen that our clients’ idea of fair, their spouse’s, and the judge’s idea of fair are often quite different. Prenuptial agreements can help avoid conflict over how everything from the marital home to retirement investments, cars, and shared business interests will be divided in a divorce. They can also address each spouse’s debt, so you won’t be liable for debts that aren’t yours.
Prenuptial agreements can also account for future possibilities. For example, perhaps you and your soon-to-be spouse want to have one of you stay home to manage the household and raise your children. This puts the stay-at-home-parent out of the workforce for a many years which, after a divorce, could leave them with considerably less earning potential than the spouse who plugged away at their career the entire marriage. Prenups can account for your loss of earning potential, and award you a higher share of marital assets, or set specific terms for spousal support during and after the divorce.
You Have The Right To Consult Your Bronxville Prenup Lawyer At Any Time
Even if you are the spouse being asked to sign a prenuptial agreement, you still have rights. Prenups should be fair to both parties; if you sign an agreement that blatantly favors your spouse, there’s a good chance that an NYC family law judge will declare it invalid. You have the right to have your own prenuptial agreement attorney review any prenup you’re asked to sign.
At the Law Office of Daniel Clement, we review any prenup you’re presented with to ensure its terms favor you. We can negotiate a prenup that’s more favorable on your behalf. We also draft strong prenups to protect you. Our long experience with New York family laws gives us a very good understanding of what is and is not possible with a prenup. We’re dedicated to protecting your interests and ensuring you have the means for supporting yourself and moving forward in the event of a divorce. Please contact us today for a personalized consultation.
