If you are considering marriage, it makes sense to protect your interests and assets before you are legally joined in matrimony. Statistics show that unfortunately, 50% of all marriages will end in divorce. Hopefully you will fall within the 50% of marriages that succeed.
However, because circumstances over which we have little or no control can change, parties should be prepared for an unforeseen divorce. At the Law Offices of Stacy E. Schwarz, our Philadelphia prenuptial agreement lawyers are devoted to providing honest, ethical, and aggressive representation for our clients before they walk down the aisle.
Whether you are somebody who wants to protect your financial interests in the event of divorce, or somebody who has been requested to sign a prenuptial agreement prior to or as a condition of marriage, the Law Offices of Stacy E. Schwarz will thoroughly review your individual situation in order to either draft or review a fair, binding prenuptial agreement. Contact us for a consultation.
Since our Pennsylvania law firm was established in 1992, our family law attorney has worked to educate our clients on why they should create a pre-marital agreement. You should consider a pre-marital agreement if:
- You have an inheritance in your name or expect one in the future
- You have children from a prior marriage whose financial futures or interests you want to protect
- You have more income or assets than your future spouse
- You want to protect your premarital business or other assets you acquired prior to marriage
- You want to decrease your financial liability and/or protect the wealth you have acquired throughout your lifetime, inherited, or have acquired during marriage in the event of a divorce
Reasons to Have Us Create or Review Your Prenuptial Agreement
While you certainly can create and enter into a premarital agreement on your own, having an experienced lawyer assist you will make sure that all of your assets and financial interests are legally protected and binding in the event of separation or divorce. After the wedding has occurred, it is easy for assets and property to get commingled, which is typically what a good marriage represents: a “commingling” of body, mind, soul and thus finances.
Attorney Stacy E. Schwarz also has a Master of Laws in Taxation, and uses this additional knowledge to help clients make the best decision for their future. Stacy will tell you the long and short term IRS and tax ramifications of the income and assets you have already acquired or plan to acquire in the future and how to plan effectively to maximize your financial future. Courts in Pennsylvania will not consider the “reasonableness” of a prenup (unless the agreement was entered into because of duress, misrepresentation or fraud) as long as both parties have made a full and fair disclosure to one another.
