When emotions are running high and family relationships are at stake, you need experience in family law matters and a level of objectivity where emotional elements are stripped away in favor of rational decision making.

Prenuptial Agreements

Many arguments and disputes involved in a divorce can be prevented through a prenuptial agreement. Pragmatism overrides emotion again in this aspect of family law. A premarital agreement is a proactive and realistic way to address individual and marital property and avoid the complications if the marriage should end. Everything is spelled out clearly in the division of the marital estate.

Those entering their first marriage may be in need of a prenuptial agreement, especially if they hold a significant stake in a family business. Clients entering a second or even third marriage have experience on their side and may not want to go through the ordeal of property division again. In addition, they may have children from a previous marriage and wish to protect finances and assets for them.

At Kaplan & Associates Inc., we will take a detail-oriented approach in drafting a prenuptial agreement. With the facts available to us, we will ensure that both parties are signing the document of their free will and there is full disclosure of all assets. If there is coercion or an unknown bank account, then the agreement would be nullified.
