Nuptial Agreement Lawyer in Orange County

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

Nuptial agreements are often important ways to establish an accord between two individuals who intent to or who have recently been married in the event of a divorce.  Obviously no married couple intends to divorce when they enter into the marital union.  However, it is impossible to deny the fact that statistics show that about half of all marriages end in divorce.  With a prenuptial/premarital or postnuptial agreement in place, you will have a legal arrangement already agreed upon that can help smooth the marriage dissolution. 

The Orange County divorce attorney team at the Law Office of Bruce C. Bridgman can assist you with the following nuptial agreement areas:

• Asset division
• Child custody
• Child support
• Alimony

Because California is a community property state, all marital property and commingled property will be split equally in the event of a divorce.  A prenuptial or postnuptial agreement will be able to protect certain assets from division.  This can be extremely beneficial to both individuals entering into the marriage, especially in the case of high net worth individuals. 

Modifying Nuptial Agreements in Orange County

Mr. Bridgman’s legal team can also assist you with making changes to your legal agreement between you and your spouse or future spouse.  For example, if your situation has changed drastically during your marriage, it could be necessary to reflect those changes in your nuptial agreement.  If your assets increase dramatically throughout your marriage and you want to protect that from division if you choose to end your marriage, a change to your agreement can legally protect you and your assets. 

A prenuptial or postnuptial legal agreement can greatly reduce the emotional stress and anxiety that is often attendant to divorce proceedings.  If you already have the agreement laid out in full, there is much less to create conflict and emotional upset.  If you and your spouse or future spouse have questions about nuptial agreements, you should speak with a qualified attorney who has experience handling these documents.
