Dallas Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements Lawyer
Prepare for the Future, Together: (214) 972-3025
Marital contracts spell out the terms for the division of assets and other important matters in the event you become divorced. Many couples find that the open communication it takes to create these agreements can strengthen their marriage. Often, the hardest part of the process is simply beginning the conversation.
These agreements should be created with the assistance of an experienced attorney. It can be easy to overlook important details if you do not have family law experience, and any factors that are not laid out in your contract will have to be brought to a court if a divorce occurs. Dallas prenuptial and postnuptial agreement lawyer Isabela Amie Garcia can help you make a comprehensive contract that covers the important details.
Call (214) 972-3025 to schedule a consultation at Garcia-Windsor, P.C. and start planning your marital contract.
Benefits of a Marital Contract
Forming a marital contract has many benefits. Perhaps most importantly, it allows you to make decisions about your property and assets instead of letting them fall to the defaults established by Texas Law. Texas is a community property state, meaning everything you earn during a marriage belongs to both partners. This is not always a practical arrangement and could end up severely damaging one partner in the event of a divorce.
Some benefits of marital contracts include:
- You can make sure property will go to your spouse in the event of your death. In Texas, community property does not always go to the spouse; other members of your family can also make a claim for it. Your marital agreement can prevent this.
- You can ensure that income from a family business or inheritance remains in your name. Income from property (such as a rental property) you owned before your marriage is still considered community property. If your marriage dissolves, you can ensure this income is still considered yours, or ensure it goes to your spouse in the event of your death.
- If you or your spouse has debt, you can set up an agreement that keeps all of their earned income in their name so that they can continue to pay off debt even if your marriage ends. Without a marital agreement, a spouse could lose the savings they had collected to pay off debts.
Marital agreements still need to be fair. Courts will not honor them if they feel the agreement mistreats one spouse. A marital agreement can also be overturned if does not meet the legal requirements set by the state, which is why it is crucial to have an attorney assist you in creating one.
