Protecting your Financial Future in the Case of a Divorce

At Saltzman & Gordon we can help you create a postnuptial agreement that meets your needs and helps you maintain control of your assets in the event of a divorce.

Prenuptial Agreements

A prenuptial agreement is created before the marriage. It essentially pre-arranges how assets would be divided and how on-going support would be handled in the event of a divorce. Prenuptial agreements are common when two people getting married are in drastically different financial situations. However, they are not reserved strictly for rich people. Any asset that would otherwise become marital property such as a family cabin or farm could potentially be protected with a prenuptial agreement. Prenuptial agreements may also protect assets meant for children with respect to couples engaging in second and subsequent marriages.

Postnuptial Agreements

Postnuptial agreements are basically the same thing as a prenuptial agreement except for they are agreed to after the marriage has begun. In many cases, couples who are anticipating going through a divorce but would like to arrange financial terms for after the divorce would do so with a postnuptial agreement.
