Are prenuptial agreements enforceable?

Yes, they are. Many people might be surprised to learn that prenuptial agreements are actually enforceable in most states. This is because the principle of contracts—an agreement made between two parties with a promise of something in return, as well as a mutual understanding of what is expected—is very much upheld by the law. However, it's important to note that there are some cases where a prenup can be challenged, so it's important to keep this in mind when entering into this type of contract.

After a couple gets married, they often make plans for their future together. They might buy a house and combine their finances or start a family and look at buying a new car to fit the new family size. Some couples even create a prenuptial agreement so they can protect their individual assets in case the marriage doesn't work out.

A prenuptial agreement is an oral or written contract between two people who are planning to marry that details what will happen to each spouse's property and money should the marriage end in divorce. It may also detail other issues related to the marriage, such as property division, spousal support, custody of children, and parenting time, as well as any other terms agreed upon by the couple. A prenuptial agreement can be verbal or written, but it must be signed by both parties before the wedding takes place to be legally binding.

A prenuptial agreement can be used for any couple getting married, including those who have been married before. It can help protect either spouse from losing the property if they divorce. In addition, it can protect the marital home and business if one spouse dies without a will or if the other spouse dies first.

What will I lose if I file for bankruptcy?

Image
This depends on several things. First, what state do you live in - the state exemptions will allow you to keep certain property. Each state’s laws are different. Second, the chapter of bankruptcy that you file. Typically, in chapter 13, you keep most (if not all of your property) because it is more of a reorganization than it is a liquidation. If you are filing a chapter 7 bankruptcy, you should really speak with a lawyer because you can lose things if you don’t do the paperwork right. Just because the law allows you to keep something under an exemption law, if you don’t put the law in your paperwork, you don’t get it. You might think that the only thing you lose when you file for bankruptcy is a bunch of money (and some of your things, if you can't keep them after the bankruptcy). But what you lose is really a lot more than that. It's very important to think about what you'll be giving up before choosing whether or not to hire a bankruptcy attorney in your area. If ...

Why should I have to pay my wife alimony when she is able to work?

Image
Alimony is a payment that one spouse will make to the other after they separate or divorce. You are not required to pay alimony if you don't want to, and if you're the one who asks for alimony, you'll have a hard time getting it. But if your spouse is able to earn money, and you aren't, you could be forced to pay the alimony.   My wife and I have been married for the past 7 years. We have 3 kids. In any other case, she would be entitled to 60% of the marital assets.   However, she is a stay-at-home mother who does not work. I am employed full-time as a manager at a local bank.   I do not make enough money to support our family on my own, so I want her to contribute as well. She is against this idea, and I don't understand why.   Is there anything that can be done?   When you get married, you make a commitment to support each other. You mutually agree on your goals and economic situation, then build a life together and solidify that agreement by creating a legal ...

How do you change the executor of a will?

Image
Changing the executor of a will is an important decision that requires the specific attention of an estate planning attorney. If you're looking to change your will and add a new executor, you should consult with an attorney for help. The first step is to decide who you want to appoint as your new executor. Your choice must be reviewed by your attorney to ensure that person is legally able to fulfill the duties of the position , including knowing what documents are needed from them and how they need to be filed. The next step is telling your current executor. This person can be informed in person, over the phone, or via a letter that includes their current contact information so they can get in touch with the proper offices if anything needs updating. You'll also need to update any health care proxies or powers of attorney. Your next step after this is to call your estate planning attorney.
