Prenuptial Agreements, Post Nuptial Agreements & Cohabitation Agreements
A marital contract is a court-enforced legal document that outlines the terms of a marital agreement. Marital contracts are usually drafted to define how marital property and assets are to be divided and distributed in the event of a divorce or separation. However, marital contracts can also be drafted to define the terms of other important aspects of a marriage, such as:
- Separate property division
- Child custody
- Child support
- Spousal support
- The right to benefits and inheritances
- Power of attorney
Types of Marital Contracts
It’s important for all people wishing to draft a marital contract to consult a San Francisco matrimonial law attorney before filling out any paperwork. Hiring an attorney who has successfully helped other clients draft a marital contract will be highly beneficial to your needs. A lawyer with this type of experience will not only be able to answer your questions and discuss your concerns, but he/she can also make sure there are no errors in your contract that could lead to problems in the future.

Modifications of Marital Contracts
If for any reason either you or spouse needs to modify or terminate a marital contract, we can help you take the appropriate steps. It’s usually very simple to modify or terminate a contract as long as both spouses agree to the modification or termination. However, if you or your spouse contests the modification or termination, you may have to appear in court, especially if you are unable to resolve your conflict in mediation. In the event of a conflict, we can help you and your spouse work through your discrepancies and help you come to arrangement that is agreeable to both of you. If mediation is ineffective, we can also represent you in court before the judge.
