Practicing Family Law and Contract Law Since 1972
A properly prepared prenuptial or post-marital contract can protect both your assets and your marriage. Agreements can:
- Conclusively assign where assets go in the event death or separation
- Protect the rights of family members who are outside the marriage "community," like children from previous marriages
- Offer the reassurance that, should separation occur, important decisions have already been made
At the San Diego law firm of James R. Spievak, APC, we have handled hundreds of family law and divorce legal matters and have drafted hundreds of spousal agreements, including prenuptial and post-marital contracts.
Do you have questions regarding protecting your rights prior to getting married? Do you need the legal services of a skilled prenuptial and post-marital agreement lawyer? Call 619-236-1820.
Attorney Jim Spievak is an experienced family law litigator who has seen 1) the effects that the absence of a prenuptial or post-marital agreement can have, and 2) how poorly drafted contracts can lead to litigation. The result? A focus on meeting with clients, identifying their full legal concerns and creating comprehensive and enforceable marital documents that fully protect your full rights. When you work with James R. Spievak, APC, your prenuptial or post-marital agreement can:
- Help you avoid issues related to identifying and protecting separate property, including family businesses, retirement accounts and inheritances
- Help you avoid financially "shutting out" children from previous marriages
- Help you avoid repeating difficult separation issues that occurred after a previous marriage
- Protect your spouse in the event of an untimely death
- Define the rights and responsibilities relating to contributions to your marriage "community"
- Post-marital agreements are especially effective if one partner wishes to enter into a high-risk investment or venture once the couple is married. Post-marital agreements can protect a spouse from future liability even after a couple is formally married.
