Premarital Agreements

They are not ironclad: Many people think a prenuptial agreement is ironclad and cannot be challenged. There are reasons why a prenuptial agreement may be challenged. If a prenuptial agreement is successfully challenged, some or all the terms of the agreement may be void.
They may expire: Prenuptial agreements can contain a sunset clause—a date at which they expire and are no longer valid. For example, a prenuptial agreement may be valid for the first 10 years of marriage. After that, the terms are void.

For nearly 30 years, I have helped Frisco area clients deal with the complex issues related to premarital agreements. My knowledge of the law, combined with my experience drafting premarital and post-marital agreements, allows me to provide the effective and detailed advice you need to understand the impact such a document can have on your marriage and future.

Drafting, Reviewing, Contesting & More

I help clients deal with all issues relating to premarital agreements, including:

Drafting a premarital agreement: I help draft premarital agreements that protect your property and financial assets. To do so, I work closely with you to first identify those assets. Then, together, we determine the best way to protect them.
Reviewing a premarital agreement: If the other party had their attorney prepare the premarital agreement, I can review that agreement on your behalf to ensure you and your assets have been adequately protected. I also review these documents to ensure the agreement, as drafted, accurately portrays what you believe has been agreed upon.
Contesting a premarital agreement: During divorce proceedings, rare occasions arise where it may be possible to challenge the validity of certain terms of a prenuptial agreement or the agreement in full. I offer the advice divorcing clients need to understand their options for contesting a premarital agreement.
