A prenuptial agreement, or “prenup,” can address key financial concerns before marriage, helping both spouses establish expectations and protect separate property, family assets, business interests and other priorities, such as alimony or pet custody. Whether you want to preserve what you have worked hard to build or simply want peace of mind going into your marriage, our lawyers provide guidance and customized solutions tailored around your goals.
Our prenuptial agreement lawyers understand that every situation is different. When you hire us for your case, we will take the time to learn what matters most to you and craft a plan that supports your long-term interests.
What Can Be Included In A Texas Prenup?
In Texas, a valid prenup can help address each of your financial and property-related issues before marriage. These documents are private and flexible, and can help you and your future spouse create a clear understanding of your financial responsibilities and vulnerabilities.
A Texas prenup may include:
- Separate property protection: It can identify property each spouse owns before the marriage and confirm that it remains separate property.
- Division of assets and debts: It can specify how the parties will manage certain assets and debts during the marriage or if they divorce.
- Business ownership and interests: If one or both spouses own a business, a prenup can help protect ownership interests and define how the business will be divided in case of a divorce.
- Spousal support terms: Outlines the terms for alimony, including its payment and duration.
- Rights to property appreciation: The agreement may address whether increases in the value of separate property will remain separate or become marital property.
All couples’ circumstances are unique, and a prenup should reflect your specific priorities. At Shea Beaty Poet PLLC, our family law lawyers will help you create an agreement that can provide you with protection and peace of mind.
Who Needs A Prenuptial Agreement?
Prenups are not just for wealthy couples. In fact, many people can benefit from having one in place before marriage. A prenup can provide clarity and reduce conflict if questions arise later. For instance, you may want a prenuptial agreement if you:
- Own land or other real estate
- Have children from a previous relationship
- Own a business or professional practice
- Expect to receive an inheritance
- Want to protect retirement accounts or other separate property
A prenup can be helpful for couples at many stages of life and financial situations. Our lawyers will use their skills and resources to help clients create personalized documents that fit their goals and interests.
