Prenuptial Agreement Lawyer in Mason City

Information on Prenuptial Agreements

It might seem a bit contrary or negative to prepare an agreement that lays out the distribution of assets during a divorce when you are about to be involved in what is usually the happiest day of your life in planning out and engaging in a marriage.

Most couples are planning for a successful and happy life together when they decide to be married. However, when there are assets at stake being brought to the marriage on the part of one or both spouses, or there are children from a prior marriage with either spouse, then it is the wise thing to do to protect everyone's interests.

Laying Down the Facts

Statistics show that over 50% of marriages end in divorce. You may have no intention of that happening to your marriage; nevertheless, having an understanding in advance of the agreements on child support, alimony, property division and other important issues is important to your peace of mind. This type of agreement can be easily prepared with an experienced, considerate and caring family law attorney.
