Prenuptial Agreements

Prenuptial Agreements

At Hofland & Associates, our attorneys view prenuptial agreements as divorce prevention tools. Financial disputes are the number one reason for divorce in America. A premarital agreement is designed to identify financial concerns and establish expectations. Rather than being a "plan for divorce" an effective prenuptial agreement is divorce prevention.

We work closely with couples in Nevada and Southern California to design prenuptial agreements that are custom tailored. Our attorneys will sit down with you and examine your entire situation to determine the best terms for your premarital agreement. An effective premarital agreement solidifies your desires for the future, documents your intentions and helps both of you protect what you have worked so hard to earn. We frequently represent clients who are entering second marriages, who already own established businesses and/or who have already accumulated significant financial security. A prenuptial agreement is a tool designed to help you protect your home, business, and assets. Entering into a premarital agreement is not preparation for divorce. It is the final piece of a successful marriage plan.

Prenuptial agreements are legal contracts and thus, they should not be entered into lightly. Premarital agreements have an impact on your finances, your family, and your future. Working with an experienced prenuptial agreement attorney insures that you are entering a fair and realistic premarital agreement.

Unfortunately, some prenuptial agreements are unfair, illegal, and even deemed unconscionable, and subsequently unenforceable. Some premarital agreements are simply unrealistic. If you are facing divorce and you are a party to a prenuptial agreement that includes terms you dispute, you need an experienced litigation lawyer to protect your rights and interests. We can help.
We have extensive experience representing clients seeking to enforce or defeat terms in premarital agreements. If you are subject to a prenuptial agreement that you believe is unfair, invalid, no longer applicable, or illegal, our litigation attorneys can go to work for you to invalidate or enforce the entire prenuptial agreement or certain terms within the prenuptial agreement.
If you require assistance designing and drafting a prenuptial agreement that is enforceable or you are facing divorce and involved in a dispute over the validity of a premarital agreement, contact us to speak with an experienced attorney.
