Separation, Prenuptial and Post Nuptial Agreements

Arizona Separation, Prenuptial and Post-Nuptial Agreements Attorneys

The Law Firm of M. Paul Fischer, P.C. has vast experience drafting legal separation, prenuptial and post-nuptial agreements. When individuals decide to file a legal separation, they agree to lead separate lives without getting divorced.

For individuals with substantial assets or businesses, these agreements can be an essential part of securing their futures. For others, a pre-marital agreement establishes the groundwork for a lasting marriage.

Separation Agreements

In a legal separation, a couple agrees to divide property and determine child custody, child support and visitation as in divorce. A legal separation is helpful for couples with irreconcilable differences who may need to keep medical insurance, e.g. and is a useful estate planning tool.

The attorneys at the Law Firm of M. Paul Fischer can help draft a separation agreement that protects the rights and assets of our client.

Prenuptial Agreements

Our attorneys have helped draft many complex pre-nuptial agreements. Individuals undertake pre-marital agreements for a variety of reasons. Reasons for a pre-marital agreement, or pre-nup, include:

  • Individuals wanting to protect the wealth they created prior to the marriage
  • Business owners hoping to protect their businesses and business assets in the event of a divorce
  • Retired people who are re-marrying and preserving their estates for their children

Post-Marital Agreements

In Arizona postnuptial agreements are valid if they are not made under duress and with full disclosure and an opportunity to obtain their own independent counsel. They are made for a wide variety of reasons, including divorce settlements, division of property, and property settlements. Typical reasons include:

  • One spouse believes that the marriage is rocky and wants protection
  • Long-married couples who always intended to draft a pre-nuptial agreement but never got around to it
  • Couples who find this a useful estate planning tool

The attorneys at the Law Firm of M. Paul Fischer can help draft a post-marital agreement that helps clients plan for the future.
