Glen Burnie Prenuptial Agreement Attorney

Prenuptial Agreements

As divorce has become increasingly common in Maryland, more couples are choosing to execute a prenuptial agreement to safeguard against the potential for extended legal battles in case of dissolution of the marriage. In the absence of such an agreement, many times the divorce process will be drawn out due to contention over asset division. This is especially true in a high net worth divorce, where the marital partners fight to be awarded a large portion of the marital property. A prenuptial agreement can prevent such struggles by clearly delineating what will happen to the financial assets of each spouse in the event that the marriage comes to an end. Another purpose served by this type of agreement is to state in advance the terms of spousal support.

In the past, the use of prenuptial agreements was widely looked upon as unromantic and a prediction that the marriage wouldn't last. More recently, it is viewed as a practical measure, capable of sparing both parties the time and expense of litigation in a contested divorce. An experienced Glen Burnie divorce attorney can meet with you and your future spouse to discuss a prenuptial agreement and help you draft the paperwork in a way that you both will feel comfortable with. If you are already involved in a divorce, your attorney can help you enforce the terms of the agreement.
