Pearland Prenuptial and Premarital Agreements Attorney
Prenuptial agreements, also called premarital agreements or prenups, are a way to protect individual property rights in a marriage and determine how property should be divided if the marriage dissolves. As a written contract, prenuptial agreements afford a variety of protections; they can be used to:
- Protect individual or separate property from becoming community property
- Protect property intended for children of a previous relationship
- Protect each spouse from the debts of the other
- Protect an inheritance or gift received by and intended for one spouse
- Protect a family business from leaving the family
Texas has strict laws and legal requirements when it comes to upholding the terms set forth in prenuptial agreements. Your contract must not only be carefully structured and written with detailed specificity, but you must be able to prove that the contract was drafted without either spouse being under duress, include a full disclosure of assets, and establish that the terms of the contract are not unconscionable.
