Prenuptial & Marital Property Agreements

Clear, fair agreements that protect both peace and partnership — before or during marriage.

Whether you’re preparing for marriage or looking to clarify financial expectations during marriage, a carefully drafted agreement protects your intentions, assets, and future peace.

Texas law allows couples to define what happens to income, property, debt, and assets — without leaving those decisions to default rules or future conflict.

A prenup or marital agreement isn’t about distrust — it’s about clarity, transparency, and mutual respect.

Who This Helps

  • Couples planning for marriage who value clarity and fairness
  • Spouses seeking to define community vs. separate property
  • Individuals with premarital assets, businesses, or investments
  • Blended families concerned about protecting children
  • Couples wanting to prevent misunderstandings — not resolve them

These agreements work best when both parties cooperate and communicate openly.

Types of Agreements I Draft

  • Prenuptial Agreements (before marriage)
  • Post-marital Agreements (after marriage)
  • Community property agreements
  • Separate property agreements
  • Blended family planning provisions

Matters Not Accepted

I do not take:

  • Contested negotiations
  • Agreements requiring mediation or litigation
  • Cases where parties are not aligned on terms
  • Drafting for divorce-in-progress separation

If agreement cannot be reached cooperatively, I cannot serve as counsel.

My Process

  1. Paid consultation — goals, assets, and expectations
  2. Identify all property and decision points
  3. Draft agreement tailored to the couple’s needs
  4. Collaborative language review (no adversarial edits)
  5. Finalize and execute formal signing
  6. Optional: coordination with estate planning documents

Fees

Prenups and marital property agreements are offered on a flat-fee basis. Pricing depends on complexity and whether trust or estate planning documents are included.

You will receive a flat quote after your consultation — no hourly billing surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

Technically, no — but it is strongly recommended. I ethically represent only one spouse. The other spouse may hire independent counsel for review but is not required to.

The earlier the better. Ideally 30–60 days before the wedding to allow thoughtful review without pressure or deadlines.

Yes. Prenups and marital property agreements are fully enforceable if entered voluntarily, signed properly, and with fair disclosure.

Absolutely. Couples may amend or replace their agreement with a post-marital contract as circumstances change.

My practice is limited to cooperative, aligned couples. If disagreements arise that prevent resolution, I cannot continue representation.
