Campbell Prenuptial Agreement Lawyers

Santa Clara County Antenuptial Attorneys

Marriage is the only contract that individuals enter into without reading it. Signing a marriage contract will have substantial effects on parties for the rest of their lives.

If you are planning on getting married, it is in your best interests to learn about the benefits of a prenuptial agreement, which states parties' legal claims if the marriage should one day end in divorce. The attorneys at the Law Offices of Robert J. Tennant can explain more about a prenuptial or postnuptial (antenuptial) agreement, and how this contract can be used to protect your interests if your marriage one day ends in divorce.

Contact our Santa Clara County law office for more information about drafting a prenuptial agreement in California. Another option for couples who are already married is a postnuptial agreement, which is similar to a prenuptial agreement, except that it is drafted and signed after a couple is already married.

Understanding Prenuptial Agreements

A prenuptial agreement can do many things:

• Establish how assets and debts will be divided if the marriage is one day terminated
• Designate each party's ownership in a business or professional practice, and determine how it will be divided
• Designate community and separate property
• Support an estate plan
• Outline alimony payments

Although many people still think of a prenuptial agreement as controversial, as family law attorneys we see it as a preventative legal tool. Nobody gets married expecting to one day divorce. But if the marriage eventually dissolves, many issues will have already been addressed through a prenuptial agreement.
