Protecting What Is 'Separate and Yours' Without Emotional Turmoil
The premarital agreement lawyers at Percy Law Group, PC, can create a prenuptial agreement to help ensure that you keep what is yours and that your spouse keeps what is theirs. Massachusetts Probate Court judges have vast leeway in deciding how marital assets are divided. It is too often the case that a divorce results in a windfall for the spouse with less assets or income. Massachusetts law defines a prenuptial agreement as an agreement between two people that spells out how assets are to be divided upon divorce or death. The law requires each person to fully disclose their own assets to the other person during the preparation of the premarital agreement. Failure to do so is a basis for non-enforcement. Equally important is the need for each person to have their own separate legal representation. Spouses have successfully voided prenuptial agreements by claiming they did not have their own representation during the negotiation and signing of the agreement. A prenuptial agreement is of course a sensitive topic to raise while making wedding plans with your spouse. Many fear to even raise the subject due to the perception it is inappropriate or selfish. Those feelings should be respected and tactfully addressed, but they should not result in a decision to ignore the need to have a prenuptial agreement. This is, of course, particularly true for the spouse with more assets and earning capacity. Absent a prenuptial agreement, Massachusetts Probate Courts look to, among other things, the standard of living previously enjoyed by the parties when determining how to divide marital assets and whether maintenance should be paid by one spouse to the other. That can certainly lead to an unfortunate result for the spouse with significantly more assets.
