Monroe Prenuptial Agreement Attorney

Getting married is stressful for a lot of reasons, and the biggest one is uncertainty about the future. There are perhaps dozens of questions that people should discuss before walking down the aisle, but so many younger – and older – couples simply try to avoid them to make it “smoother.” A prenuptial agreement is one way to take the uncertainty out of your marriage.

Attorney Christina D. Hills brings more than 30 years of experience to people in Monroe in all areas of family law. She helps our clients find answers to difficult questions, and there is no time when answers are more vital than during the creation of a prenup. She guides her clients to building an agreement that brings clarity and assurance to people facing the biggest step of their lives.

What You Should Know About Prenuptial Agreements

Prenuptial agreements are valid and enforceable agreements in Michigan, but there are some limitations as to what they can govern. A prenup can help settle highly important issues such as:

• The designation of marital and separate property
• The conditions under which the marital assets will be divided
• Whether alimony is awarded, how much and how long it can last
• Future income as marital or separate property
• Designation of any businesses as separate or marital property

In fact, almost any question of a divorce – and a marriage – can be settled in a prenuptial agreement with one exception: children. Any sort of clause regarding child support or custody is void and should not be included in the agreement.

A prenup forces couples to have all the uncomfortable conversations about their lives, from money to where they’ll live to priorities, all at once. Children are often a central part of the discussions in a prenuptial agreement, even if they can’t be part of the agreement itself.
