Las Vegas Prenuptial Agreement Attorneys
If you are considering a prenuptial agreement, it is best to address the matter with your future spouse as early as possible. If either party has significant wealth, the request for such an agreement is typically expected, or at least does not come as a surprise. Even couples who aren't wealthy may consider a prenuptial agreement, especially if either future spouse owns a business, has children from a previous marriage, or if either spouse will be providing financial support to the other.
A premarital agreement is a contract between a future husband and wife. It defines how income, assets, and debts will be distributed upon divorce or if one party passes away. The decision of whether to have a premarital agreement is an important one and based on many factors both personal and financial. The financial reasons are typically based on the amount of income, assets, and debts each party will bring into the marriage.
Most importantly, if you decide that a prenuptial agreement is in your and your future spouse's best interest, it is wise to hire an experienced Las Vegas prenuptial agreement attorney. These attorneys are skilled in what constitutes an enforceable prenuptial agreement.
The Clark County Family Law courts routinely rule that a prenuptial agreement is unenforceable. In other words, the prenuptial agreement will not be considered by the court regarding property, marital income, and the division of assets and debts. This means that the marital divisions will be governed by "community property" law.
