We prepare and review prenuptial agreements for a variety of persons, affluent and not-so-affluent, to help them to control the possible outcome of a separation or divorce.  Prenuptial agreements may be useful to structure the future consequences, and reduce the stress and expense, of separation and divorce.  The purposes of a prenuptial agreement may include provisions for children of a former marriage, preservation of a family business, protection of property acquired prior to the marriage, or other purposes.  Our congenial relationships with other family law attorneys make the process of negotiating a prenuptial agreement more friendly and purposeful.

The most common mistake is waiting until the last minute to propose a prenuptial agreement.  If you wish to have a prenuptial agreement, you should contact an attorney as soon as you set a wedding date.

It is also possible to negotiate an agreement after the wedding.  Postnuptial agreements are honored in Pennsylvania and many other states.
