Experienced Prenuptial Agreements Lawyer in Madison, WI

Prenuptial Agreements

Prenuptial Agreements or Marital Property Agreements can actually be executed before or during a marriage although most often parties want these agreements executed before the marriage begins.  The Wisconsin Courts presume such agreements to be binding at divorce but to maximize the chances that your Prenuptial Agreement is upheld at divorce, it is important that you follow proper procedure and that the drafting clearly express your wishes.  For example, the Court is more likely to uphold a Prenuptial Agreement at divorce when both parties to a Prenuptial Agreement have had their own individual representation and where there is a clear record of financial disclosure prior to signing the document.

A Prenuptial Agreement can address both property division and maintenance upon divorce.  However, placement of minor children and child support are not generally addressed in a prenuptial agreement as the Court needs to retain the power to resolve those matters in terms of the children’s best interest at the time the decisions are made.

Often, time is of the essence in drafting Prenuptial Agreements and over the years, I have developed a number of extensive templates to draw from to address many scenarios.  Henry Family Law Offices, LLC offers free initial consultations so that we can discuss whether a Prenuptial Agreement makes sense for you and what areas you would want to have addressed in the document.
