New Jersey Prenuptial Agreement Attorney

Prenuptial Agreement Overview

There was a time when prenuptial agreements were perceived as coercive tactics used to keep financial assets and investments from falling into the hands of their soon-to-be marital partners in the event of a divorce.  Today prenuptial agreements are widely accepted and vitally important if they are done correctly and fairly.  New Jersey state laws still apply and having an invalid or incorrectly drafted prenuptial agreement increases the potential for it to be set aside or overthrown.  With proper guidance from a knowledgeable New Jersey mediation lawyer, you may find it beneficial to establish a prenuptial agreement between you and your future spouse. 

If you have children from a previous situation, you may want to protect property that is intended for them.  You may want to predetermine how marital property will be passed in the event of death of either party.  Even if you are young, you may want to have a prenuptial agreement that establishes terms for how you will manage financial responsibilities, debts and assets during your marriage.  The agreement may also indicate how you will divide assets and other properties in the event you get divorced, greatly reducing potential disputes and associated expenses.
