PRE & POST-MARITAL AGREEMENTS

SOME TITLE

Marriage and registered Domestic Partnership gives a legal foundation for your relationship.

A future divorce is not being contemplated as you promise to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, honor and cherish until death do us part. Unfortunately, the reality is that an average of 50% of all marriages end in divorce in the U.S. with a whopping 60% in California. With only a few exceptions, property and debts in California acquired during marriage (whether a 6-month marriage or 50 year marriage) are community/marital property.

It’s not particularly romantic but pre-marital and post-marital agreements can provide a roadmap towards how these properties and debts will be divided in the event of a divorce, address other financial issues such as spousal support and work out parenting plans for current or future minor children.

Post-marital agreements are the same as pre-marital agreements except that they are created after a marriage (or registered domestic partnership) and immediately become effective.

With more than 20 years of family law experience, Bailey will help you negotiate, prepare and implement valid written agreements that will map out the division of the marital assets and debts, address any issue of spousal support (alimony) and address what happens if you have children born during your marriage. Give her a call or email Bailey to set up a free 30-minute consultation to discuss this familiar form of contracts between partners.
