Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are frequently misunderstood. The fact of the matter is that they are designed to establish clear plans for the manner in which property and debt are to be divided in the case of the divorce. Beyond that, they are designed according to your wishes.
The attorneys at the law firm of Atkinson & Kelsey in Albuquerque are available to offer you personalized guidance about prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. We will be happy to educate you and your loved one about the benefits of these documents.
Are Pre-Marital and Post-Marital Agreements Fair?
One of the common misunderstandings about prenuptial and postnuptial agreements is that they are a sign of mistrust and that they aren't fair to one of the spouses.
Is it unfair to:
- Want to protect your spouse from the debts you may accumulate?
- Want to ensure that certain property is set aside for your children?
- Want to ensure that you can keep the property you want while your spouse keeps the property he or she wants?
- Want to design a plan to efficiently address the division of property if the need to do so arises?
Of course not. These are just some of the benefits of creating a pre- or post-marital agreement.
