Prenuptial Agreements

A prenuptial agreement is a legal document that specifies what assets belong to whom prior to getting married. Should divorce occur, it protects any assets that were brought separately into the marriage. It could also state that everything will be evenly shared after the wedding. At Cox Law Firm, our objective is to help you create a prenuptial agreement that is in your best interests. This assures that you can begin your marriage with confidence and ease. Unlike other divorce attorneys, we do not push two individuals into the decision to create a prenuptial agreement before getting married. We understand that this is an important and personal decision. It must be made entirely between you and your future spouse.

Benefits of a Prenuptial Agreement

The thought of creating a prenuptial agreement can be daunting. However, it is important that you are aware of its many benefits. These include:

Identifying who will get which assets in the event of a divorce
Protecting property that was accumulated before marriage or individually during marriage
Minimizing conflicts that inevitably arise after a divorce
Helping you feel at peace knowing your affairs are in order
Minimizing potential expenses related to future court proceedings
Avoiding the stress of a contested divorce
Protecting you from your spouse’s pre existing debts or debts that they accumulate during marriage
Protecting the family business or any heirlooms or inheritances left behind by your family

We get you started with the creation of a prenuptial agreement by answering your important questions thoroughly and concisely. Our main concern is making sure you feel comfortable and confident throughout the process. We draw up a prenuptial agreement that fits your specific needs.

Regarding the Marital Residence in a Divorce

Sunday, April 4, 2021

Divorcing parties often consider the possibility of one party buying out the other’s one-half ownership interest in their marital home. However, I always raise a few “what ifs” if my client is the one contemplating the option of being bought out:

Contested Divorce or Uncontested Divorce?

Thursday, March 18, 2021

People often ask me what I charge for a divorce that is “uncontested”. My initial questions are to establish whether they truly have an uncontested divorce case. If they have children, they will sometimes tell me they have agreed to a 50/50 timesharing (formerly called custody). I then ask whether they have discussed what will be paid in monthly child support, very often they respond with, “neither of us will pay child support to the other”. My follow-up question is, “ok, so do you both make the same amount of money?” Usually, I will get a response such as well no, he/she earns a lot more than me. When one party earns significantly more, the parent with the greater income will normally have to pay some amount of support to the other. Of course, people have often not considered the issue of income disparity and believe the 50/50 time-sharing arrangement precludes one party from having to pay the other any child-support.
