pre-marital agreements

In Texas, the law considers all property in a marriage as jointly owned by the spouses from the moment of marriage to the moment of divorce.

Before marriage, though, you have the opportunity to opt out of this legal construct through obtaining a pre-marital agreement.

Pre-marital agreements outline how all property, income, assets and debts acquired during the marriage are owned and managed during your marriage. In the unlikely event of a future divorce, a well written and properly executed pre-marital agreement also will outline how the divorce must divide all assets and debts, making the divorce as quick and seamless as possible.

To be most enforceable, a pre-marital agreement should be drafted and signed by the future spouses plenty of time prior to the wedding or marriage taking place. This will give the future spouses plenty of time to attend to every detail without rush or duress.

Let’s devise a plan together with you and your future spouse for how you would like your property considered during your marriage and, if necessary, during a future divorce.
