New York Prenuptial Agreement Lawyer 

Prenuptial agreement is a pre-marriage contract of two spouses. It is also called premarital agreement. 

Most importantly, it resolves the economic consequences of the divorce. Also, it can contain the spouses’ duties during the marriage. The court will enforce the prenuptial agreement if the agreement is valid. In other words, the parties entered into the agreement according to the proper procedure. In addition, the terms of the agreement must be fair and not unconscionable.  

For all these reasons, spouses must enter into prenuptial agreements willingly. Importantly, each party is strongly encouraged, to be represented by separate counsels. In addition, each spouse must disclose their financial and property assets to each other for the prenuptial agreement to be valid. Our New York Prenuptial Agreement Lawyer is here to help to protect your secure marriage.

To clarify, the prenuptial agreement usually outlines which of each party’s assets will be considered separate property. Such property is not subject to division in a divorce. Also, the prenuptial agreement may limit or eliminate maintenance (alimony) for the less-monied spouse. But,  each party must be able to support themselves financially prior to marriage and after the divorce.
