Columbia Prenuptial Agreement Attorney
While it may not be the most romantic topic to discuss in the time leading up to your wedding, many couples consider a prenuptial agreement as a way to resolve the issues they may ultimately need to address in divorce. The Tennessee statute on prenuptial agreements includes the basic requirements, since these documents must be entered into by the parties freely, in good faith, and in the absence of duress or coercion. The benefits include certainty and a shorter time to resolve a divorce case, which also reduces the costs of divorce.
Still, despite knowing the requirements and advantages of a prenup, legal representation is still essential. Whether you are preparing the document or one was presented to you, both parties have important interests to protect. You can count on our lawyers at Fort, Holloway, & Rogers, LLC for all necessary tasks, so please contact us to speak to a Columbia prenuptial agreement attorney. We can schedule a consultation to discuss details, and an overview helps frame the relevant issues.
Topics to Include in a Prenup
Couples of any age, financial situation, and background can benefit from drafting a prenuptial agreement that works out the details of divorce while they still get along. However, there are certain individuals that should give special consideration to creating a prenup, including:
- Those getting married a second time;
- Parents with children from a previous relationship;
- Owners of a business or professional practice, whether as a sole owner or partner; and
- Anyone bringing substantial assets or debt to the marriage.
The range of issues you can cover in a prenuptial agreement is extensive, but the focus will be on two key areas of divorce: Property division and alimony. Based on your circumstances, you might include provisions on:
- Designation of assets and debts as marital or separate property;
- Details on how to divide marital property in divorce; and
- The type, duration, and amount of alimony.
