Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

The McCarthy Fingar Team

Before getting married, many individuals desire to sign a prenuptial agreement as a way of protecting their property and avoiding potential disputes in the future. Sometimes prenuptial agreements are designed to protect the assets and the income of the marital partners themselves; sometimes they are designed to protect children of prior marriages. McCarthy Fingar’s matrimonial lawyers know that properly prepared prenuptial agreements are enforceable under New York law, and often can prevent complications later in your marriage.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements: Marriage Agreements

Marriage agreements can be made prior to a marriage (prenuptial) or after the marriage (postnuptial). If you and your spouse choose to address issues of spousal support (alimony) or division of assets and debts through a marriage agreement, each party should obtain independent counsel from an experienced New York attorney.

The McCarthy Fingar Approach in Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

Prospective prenuptial agreements should not necessarily cause stress and disagreement between the parties. Our Matrimonial & Family Law attorneys are skilled in helping our clients make good decisions and to understand the legal implications of potential marital disputes.
