Postmarital Contracts Offer Protection and Certainty

At Stolar & Associates, our attorneys often meet with people who find they need a postnuptial agreement. In some cases, they did not get a premarital agreement. In other cases, circumstances require a change in a prenuptial agreement.

Whatever the situation, an experienced California postnuptial agreement lawyer is prepared to draft a contract that meets your needs. A postnuptial (or antenuptial) agreement has the same benefits as a prenuptial agreement.

Why Do Couples Negotiate a Postnuptial Agreement?

When couples seek a postnuptial agreement, there can be many different reasons.

• There may be a change in economic circumstances. Perhaps there was a change in the family business, or one spouse started a business or earned a valuable degree.
• A postnuptial contract may be the result of a difficult time in the marriage. By settling the financial issues, the couple can focus on other issues important to the marriage.
• There may have been a change in the extended family (a child needing special care, for example).

Just as with a premarital agreement, it is essential that both spouses have legal representation to ensure that their separate interests are protected. The court will carefully look at a postnuptial agreement to make sure neither spouse was inappropriately pressured.

An experienced lawyer can ensure that your agreement can stand up to the court’s scrutiny.
