Post-Nuptial Agreements Lawyer in Clearwater
Many individuals have never heard of a post-nuptial agreement. This document defines the ownership of assets or property acquired over the course of a marriage. They are not necessarily drafting in anticipation of a divorce, but rather a way to keep things straight if a divorce becomes a reality.
I am Clearwater family lawyer Tamara K. Holden. I have guided many couples through the process of investigating and defining assets gained during a marriage. In some cases, post-nuptial agreements change or continue the provisions of a prenuptial agreement. This agreement should be considered if a couple decides to separate, if one spouse inherits assets, starts a business or has a substantial increase in income.
Post-Nuptial Agreements Instead of Legal Separation
Since there is no legal separation in Florida, many couples will complete a post-nuptial agreement. This document stipulates how assets and liabilities will be divided. In essence, the agreement becomes the divorce settlement. Compared to the cost of divorce litigation, a well-written post-nuptial agreement is money well spent. It can potentially save couples thousands of dollars in legal fees.
It is important to note that I can help clients draft or review pre- or post-nuptial agreements. If your spouse presents you with one of these documents, don't sign it without scheduling a consultation with an attorney at one of my offices.
