Premarital Agreements

Premarital agreements are treated like any other written contract. The terms are flexible and can be adjusted to fit your particular needs. They can be used to determine various property rights between spouses in the event that a marriage is later dissolved or in the event one spouse predeceases the other. Prenuptial agreements can also determine issues of spousal maintenance or payment of legal fees in the event of divorce. They can address issues of what a spouse receives where one spouse predeceases the other and can be used to waive the right to inherit from the other spouse.

Same-Sex Divorce, Property Division And Custody Matters

If you and your spouse are seeking to part ways through divorce, we can help you understand all rights and options available. We will facilitate the property division process, characterizing and valuing all property to be included in the division.

If you and your spouse have adopted a child (through stepparent adoption or second parent adoption) or had a child through other means, our lawyers will help you understand your parental rights. Our same-sex parent adoption attorneys will also explain the implications of each option and how it might affect your future relationship with your child.
