Prenuptial agreements (also known as prenups) have become an increasingly popular tool for couples looking to build a common understanding of how they want to manage the most important matters in their marriage.
In many cases, the process allows a couple to take an in-depth look and work through any misalignments prior to their marriage ceremony and to ensure they have a common understanding as they build their lives together and navigate major life events and decisions such as caregiving for children or other family members, purchasing a home, inheriting money or property, savings and spending.
At Moradi Saslaw, we understand that thinking about the possible end of an upcoming marriage or domestic partnership is hardly romantic. But sometimes the unexpected finds you, and that’s when you’ll wish you and your partner had taken care of matters before things got divisive. That’s exactly what a prenuptial agreement does.
Our firm has developed a comprehensive approach for guiding clients through this process and we have received feedback that it has helped strengthen relationships. We also have a detailed guide that can help couples interested in a prenup know what to expect.
Below are some highlights:

While for some couples, going through the process of developing a prenup helps them think through important areas before they get married, others choose to create one to feel a greater sense of security that the property they have going into a marriage will always be their own. Executed correctly, a prenup can clearly establish the property rights of each party, but not all attorneys have the necessary skills to create a document that is enforceable.
Our attorneys have extensive legal experience and business training that help them develop prenuptial agreements that are enforceable and meet our clients’ goals and objectives, including:
Postnuptial agreements (also known as postnups) can accomplish some of the same goals as prenuptial agreements. The big difference is they are executed after a couple marries or enters into a domestic partnership. Sometimes a couple thinks of starting the prenup process a little too close to the date of their wedding or ceremony and opt to do a postnuptial agreement soon afterwards. Other times, a major life event happens and a couple will use the postnuptial process to help them navigate the impact on the different aspects of their life together.
