Central Pennsylvania Marital Agreement Lawyers
Most people have probably heard of prenuptial agreements, or "prenups," but may not have heard about postnuptial agreements. The two are very similar, with the main difference being that the postnuptial agreement is signed after the couple gets married.
At Montgomery & Zimmerer, L.L.C., we advise clients on the possibility of signing a postnuptial agreement. With nearly 20 years of combined experience, our attorneys can sit down with you and help you decide whether one of these agreements could benefit you. We understand that it is difficult to think about the possibility of divorce, and we will not push you in one direction or the other. We will listen to your concerns and give you the information you need to make a choice that you can be comfortable with.
To arrange a consultation with our experienced Lebanon postnuptial agreement lawyers, please call (717) 459-4228 or toll free (888) 364-8169. You can also contact our law office online.
What Are the Benefits of Postnuptial Agreements?
Like prenuptial agreements, a postnuptial agreement lets a couple make decisions about how to divide property if they should ever get divorced. If you and your spouse can get past the emotions that come with contemplating the end of your marriage, you may see that you could benefit greatly from entering one of these agreements. Some of the advantages are:
- Control: By solving property division issues in a contract, you and your spouse do not have to rely on a judge to make decisions about your assets. You can make those decisions yourself.
- Civility: When you sign a postnuptial agreement, you do not have to engage in a bitter court battle about who gets what.
- Efficiency: Rather than costly and drawn-out litigation, with a postnup all you have to do is file it with the court and have it approved. You can get on with your life much faster.
- Manage additional property: If you and your spouse signed a prenup before your marriage, you can use a postnuptial agreement to divide property that you acquired while married, which was not accounted for in the prenup.
Our lawyers are available to draft postnuptial agreements or to review agreements that were prepared by someone else. We will make sure that you receive a fair share of the marital property.
