Prenuptial Agreements
A well-drafted prenuptial agreement can help you:
- Protect Your Assets We all believe that our marriage will last forever, and yours very well may. However, protecting your assets coming into a marriage is always a smart decision.
- Avoid costly disputes in the event of a divorce By having our attorneys draft you a prenuptial agreement you will be making sure that there are no unforeseen costly disputes that will jeopardize your financial future.

- Define future alimony and maintenance payments and obligations Allows you the security of knowing exactly what you will be financially responsible for if a divorce occurs.
Postnuptial Agreements
While not as common as a prenuptial agreement, a postnuptial agreement can perform many of the same functions as a prenuptial agreement, but it is established after the marriage. Circumstances that may lead a couple to pursue a post-marital agreement include:
- Significant change in your financial status
- career change
- substantial inheritance
If you are like many, you may have gotten married young, and financially you did not have much. A postnuptial agreement takes into account that for many, we do not reach our earning potential until later in life. A postnuptial agreement allows for what you have to be protected throughout your marriage.
Whatever type of agreement you are pursuing, it is important to make sure it is detailed and unambiguous. At Westchester Matrimonial we have the ability to protect you and establish a legal framework for future stability and prosperity.
