Prenuptial Agreements

A prenuptial agreement is a formal agreement between two people who are about to get married. The agreement addresses each individual’s assets accumulated thus far, in an effort to separate whose is whose in the event of a separation or divorce.  Contrary to popular belief, prenuptial agreements aren’t plans for divorce; rather, they are ways of distinguishing one person’s assets from the others.  In situations where a person has children from a previous marriage, a prenuptial agreement is a way to ensure that your children will be taken care of in the event of your death.  There are many positive things a prenuptial agreement can do for a couple’s future, and if you or someone you love is about to get married you should contact a San Diego family law attorney to discuss whether or not a prenuptial agreement is right for your situation.
