Postnuptial Agreement Lawyer in L.A. County

Postnuptial agreements are created after the marriage has already taken place, for one or another partner (or both) who wishes to make clear legally what assets or properties remain under the control of that individual.  For example, if one partner received an inheritance and wishes to invest it into a new venture, the other partner may want to be protected from any future debt incurred by that new venture.  Conversely, the partner investing the money in the venture may want to ensure that due to their investment, that they have the right to the majority of the income generated by that venture.  In other cases, the partners wish to ensure that in the event of a divorce, the properties are divided in a fair manner, based on the actual assets, income and property owned by the individual rather than by the community property laws of California, which is usually a 50/50 split.

In other cases, a postnuptial agreement could be made by married partners who are currently separated, but hope to resolve their marriage, and need a legal agreement in order to lay out the responsibilities of each party regarding finances, bills and other important matters for the duration of the separation.  In some cases, the postnuptial agreement is written after the marriage merely to protect the assets and properties of the individuals involved when they didn’t create a prenuptial agreement prior to their marriage.  It is critical that you protect your finances for your future financial health and for your designated heirs, and with the assistance of Attorney Sitzer, a postnuptial agreement can be drafted to take the necessary legal measures to achieve this intention.  The courts look over postnuptial agreements closely and will want to ensure that they were entered into with coercion or duress, and it is critical that your family law attorney is careful, skillful and experienced to avoid future court challenges whenever possible.
