Frequently Asked Questions

What Is a Prenuptial Agreement?

A prenuptial agreement is a legal document drafted before marriage outlining how assets, income, and property are to be divided in the event of divorce or death. It's utilized to protect both parties’ interests, ensuring clear expectations and financial security. In Nassau County, prenuptial agreements must comply with state laws, requiring signatures from both parties and witnesses to be deemed valid. Beyond asset protection, prenuptial agreements can also define responsibilities and financial contributions during the marriage, creating a balanced approach to financial management tailored specifically for you and your partner. This agreement acts as both a testament to mutual trust and foresight, paving the way for a harmonious marriage.

Why Do I Need a Lawyer for a Prenuptial Agreement?

Working with a prenuptial agreement lawyer is crucial for creating a comprehensive and legally binding document.

How Can a Prenuptial Agreement Protect Me?

A prenuptial agreement safeguards your individual assets and financial interests, providing clearly defined terms for property division and financial responsibilities. It limits conflicts during divorce proceedings and offers peace of mind about economic stability. In Nassau County, effective prenuptial agreements also address spousal support scenarios, protecting both parties’ futures by setting clear expectations. By having a well-structured agreement, you mitigate the emotional and financial strains that may arise during marital disagreements, turning potential friction points into areas of clarity and agreement. Such measures ensure that you and your spouse remain partners in resolving issues rather than adversaries.

Can a Prenuptial Agreement Be Changed After Marriage?

Yes, prenuptial agreements can be amended post-marriage with the creation of a postnuptial agreement, provided both parties consent. Contacting a skilled prenuptial agreement attorney in Nassau County is essential for navigating the complexities of the modification process, ensuring all changes are legally sound and equitable for both parties. This flexibility allows couples to adapt to significant life changes such as career shifts, business ventures, or family expansions, demonstrating the dynamic nature of prenuptial agreements in accommodating evolving life goals. Engaging with us ensures that these changes are managed with the same attention to detail and care as the original agreement.

Are Prenuptial Agreements Recognized in Nassau County Courts?

In Nassau County, as elsewhere in New York State, prenuptial agreements are legally recognized, provided they meet state requirements, including full disclosure of assets from both parties. The courts uphold such agreements when they are fairly negotiated without coercion. Our legal team ensures your agreement conforms to legal standards, minimizing the risk of nullification. By ensuring your prenuptial agreement fulfills all regional legal criteria and ethical standards, you can trust that its terms will be respected and enforced, providing you with a solid and enforceable foundation tailored to your needs.

Have Questions?

We Have Answers!
  • What does a family lawyer do besides divorce?

    Divorce is the primary reason people seek out a lawyer, but professionals in this field can also handle adoption and guardianships, child custody disputes, child protection, asset distribution, draft pre and postnuptial agreements, and settle legal disputes between family members. Additionally, Anthony J. LoPresti works with experienced forensic accountants and can investigate the actual value of yours or your spouse’s assets and property.

  • What if I signed a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement?
    In many cases, having a marital contract prepared can make the divorce process much easier. However, depending on how long it’s been since you last revised your agreement, the terms set forth may no longer be tenable for your situation. It is possible to challenge the terms of a marital agreement at the time of divorce, but it is highly recommended you hire an attorney to do so. Likewise, you will want to hire a lawyer if your spouse is attempting to challenge a marital agreement you want to uphold.
  • My former partner has agreed to an uncontested divorce, do I still need an attorney?
    As mentioned above, it is always a good idea to have an experienced lawyer overseeing your case, even if both sides want to end things amicably. An uncontested divorce is one where both spouses want to get divorced and have agreed to fair distribution of assets, child custody, and other matters. The longer these cases go on, the more details begin to reveal themselves, and many couples find themselves arguing over things they never expected to. Having an attorney present can actually help maintain the civility of your divorce. Your lawyer can look at the situation without emotion and can help both sides find a reasonable solution.
