Pre-Nuptial Agreements

Naturally, no one enters into a marriage with the expectation that it will end in divorce. However, in many cases a couple can greatly benefit from drafting a pre-nuptial agreement. Couples today are waiting longer to get married for the first time which means they may have acquired substantial assets that need to be protected. Similarly, many couples are getting married for the second or third time, and in addition to assets, there may be children whose needs must be considered before entering into another marriage. Most pre-nuptial agreements contain provisions limiting the distribution of marital property and alimony in the event of a divorce, and limiting the distribution of property to a spouse in the event of death.
 
At Dishon & Block, our lawyers frequently assist couples in the drafting of prenuptial agreements. By making agreements before marriage about how property should be divided, not only can you avoid the potential of expensive and confrontational divorce litigation, but in many cases the parties understand up front what the others’ financial expectations are going into the marriage.

Other times, an individual is presented with a pre-nuptial agreement and requires an experienced divorce lawyer to review its terms to assure that it is fair. In either case, Dishon & Block has the resources and experience necessary to protect our client's interests prior to marriage. Our lawyers help couples throughout Orange County, including Irvine, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Costa Mesa, Mission Viejo, Tustin, Santa Ana draft their prenuptial agreements, and get off to a secure start in their new lives together.
