Trusted Prenuptial Agreement Lawyer in Texas

We understand that it is difficult to fathom not spending the rest of your life with the person you are going to marry. But the fact is that a large majority of couples end up divorcing, and many of those are amicable divorces in which couples simply drifted apart, each person developing different sets of interests. It is prudent to enter into a prenuptial agreement, especially if there is a disparate distribution of wealth and assets, so that each party understands and agrees to the terms beforehand should the marriage not last.

Changing an Agreement

Prenuptial agreements can be written to change with the passage of time. For example, after five years your spouse could receive a percentage of your estate or protected assets. You could even include a provision that would terminate the prenuptial agreement after enough time has passed that you are satisfied the marriage will last a lifetime or if children are born into the marriage. Existing agreements can be modified or redrafted to reflect your current situation.

Regardless of your circumstances, we can help you understand a prenuptial agreement and advise you of its benefits and limitations so you can make an informed decision.
