Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements must be drafted and executed according to state law to be enforceable. Our Du Page County family law attorneys help spouses develop agreements that clearly establish the character of marital and non-marital property.
Pre-nuptial agreements
Frequently referred to as pre-marital agreements, these are binding contracts signed by couples before the wedding. Pre-nuptial agreements usually address marital and non-marital property issues and how assets including inherited wealth and family business ventures should be handled in the event of a divorce.
Post-nuptial agreements
Executed by spouses, these contracts also tend to focus on the character of non-marital and marital properties. Post-nuptial agreements are sometimes used to protect the family home in the event of a family business failure.
