Many think a prenuptial agreement indicates a belief that a marriage will inevitably fail. However, marriages end for several reasons, and each relationship has its unique characteristics. Prenuptial agreements merely establish the rights and obligations of each party involved. In the event of a divorce, it is essential to ensure that your rights are protected. At Brad Green Law, we routinely assist clients with drafting and executing valid prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. We also help clients prove the validity of and enforce existing contracts between spouses.
Most states have adopted the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act to address prenuptial agreements. Alabama has yet to adopt this statute, but several requirements must be followed for a contract to be recognized and enforced by the court in our state.
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are effective ways for couples to understand their financial statuses and plan for the future. These contracts can delineate how marital property and money are distributed and may also make provisions about spousal support. Some prenuptial and postnuptial agreements contain provisions regarding child support and custody, but courts will only enforce these provisions if doing so is in the best interests of a child.
Prenuptial agreements often save couples thousands of dollars in legal fees and significantly reduce the time it takes to obtain a divorce. With complete and fair disclosure, there are no surprises, and each party knows their rights and obligations. Many people mistakenly believe that prenuptial agreements are reserved for wealthy individuals. However, our attorneys assist clients of all income levels and those with large and small estates.
To challenge the validity of a premarital agreement, you must prove that you did not enter into the contract willingly. A prenup may also be invalidated if you confirm that your spouse did not disclose their assets before you agreed. Disputing the validity of a marital agreement often leads to contentious litigation and increased attorney’s fees. You must consult an experienced family law attorney before signing any marital contracts.
At Brad Green Law, we pride ourselves on building solid relationships with our clients based on trust and discretion. We offer consultations at our two Birmingham and Blount County, Alabama offices.
