Prenuptial Agreements

    JERSEY CITY, NJ, June 21, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- It's not uncommon for a couple recently engaged to view their marriage as a loving contract in which they vow to tend to one another for the rest of their lives. Love is, of course, the primary reason people choose to get married. In the eyes of the law, however, marriage is as much a business contract as one bound by love, involving property, financial rights, and other obligations.

Love, as beautiful as it is, is not a common sense emotion. This can make approaching a common sense idea like a prenuptial agreement seem rather vulgar. Some people fear that even suggesting the idea is akin to setting an expiration date on their marriage. However, this is not the idea behind such agreements. Rather, much like insurance, a prenuptial agreement is a simple and practical way to protect you and your future spouse against unknown events and future occurrences. It is also a way to show your fiance that you are willing to protect them, even if your marriage does not stand the test of time.

Hiring an Attorney

The most effective way to create a prenuptial agreement is with the assistance of a family law attorney. When you work with an experienced, sympathetic family law attorney, the creation and signing of a prenuptial agreement can be both quick and easy. In addition, working with an attorney will help ensure that both you and your fiance's best interests are kept in mind at all times. Prenuptial agreements are an issue of the head, not the heart, and having a neutral third party who can evaluate your current assets is substantially easier than trying to divvy up rights on your own.

Your marriage is a joyous occasion, but that doesn't mean caution should be thrown to the wind. A family law attorney can help ease the tension a prenuptial agreement may cause, and work to ensure both you and your future spouse remain protected no matter what life throws your way.
