New York Prenuptial Agreement Lawyers

It is a legally binding document where a couple sets forth their rights as to assets and liabilities, not only when they are married, but also in the event of divorce, and even, disability or death.

Whether you are presented one to sign by your future spouse or want a prenuptial agreement prepared yourself, it is wise to have a real attorney review or prepare it.  Legal documents are very difficult to understand and may have ramifications that non-lawyers are not aware of.

For a New York Prenuptial Agreement to be valid, both parties must fully disclose all their assets, have the advice of a lawyer or waive that right, enter into the agreement voluntarily and have sufficient time to consider the terms of the agreement.

Prenuptial agreements can cover anything from premarital debts to business interests to future alimony or support and even things such as who will live in the marital home upon a divorce.

New York law expressly forbids New York prenuptial agreements from addressing child support or custody.
