Arlington Heights Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements Attorney
Lawyers Assisting Clients with Marital Agreements in Cook County
Planning a wedding involves a lot of decision making. Where should you get married? Who should you invite? What kind of cake do you want? What kind of dress? Band or DJ? The list is endless. One important decision that more and more couples are also considering is whether or not to get a prenuptial agreement.
Prenuptial agreements (before the marriage) and postnuptial agreements (after the marriage) are increasingly popular for ordinary couples because people want to avoid a messy divorce and protect themselves and their children. The last thing you want to think about at the beginning of a marriage is how it might end, but you never know what the future might bring. The wise choice is to prepare a prenuptial agreement and hope you will never need it.
At the Arlington Heights law office of A. Traub & Associates, we assist clients in prenuptial and postnuptial preparation. Our attorneys offer experienced legal counsel in an approachable and accessible atmosphere.
Advantages of Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
There are many situations in which a prenuptial agreement can offer a layer of protection including:
- Blended families – If you have children from a previous relationship, a prenuptial agreement can protect their inheritance and preserve your ability to support them in the event of a divorce.
- Business interests – If you own a business or a share of a business, a prenuptial agreement can prevent that business from being negatively affected by your divorce.
- Inheritance – If you have inherited or stand to inherit a substantial amount of assets, a prenuptial agreement can preserve that inheritance.
Whether or not you have high-value assets, a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement can be useful in avoiding a contentious and costly divorce. With most arrangements for how to divide assets and provide support already decided, a future divorce could be settled swiftly and amicably.
