Frequently Asked Questions
-
Questions
-
Is My Marital Agreement Enforceable?
Answer
While a marital agreement can be a helpful tool in the case of a divorce, a signed document doesn’t guarantee its enforceability. There are numerous requirements an agreement must meet to be upheld in court. If you have an existing agreement, it is highly recommended that you review its terms with an attorney from our firm.
-
What If My Spouse Is Hiding Assets?
Answer
The accurate reporting of property is a vital component in the distribution of property. However, a spouse may not always be playing by the rules. It is against the law to attempt to conceal or hide assets and the act may invalidate terms of an existing marital agreement.

The terms of a marital agreement can affect you for years if not decades to come. With so much on the line, you can’t afford to leave anything to chance.

-
Will a Marital Agreement Expedite a Divorce?
Answer
As valid terms included in an existing agreement typically do not need to be fought over in the courtroom, a well-drafted document can help to reduce setbacks and areas of conflict in a divorce. However, this will not negate the waiting periods or residency requirements associated with the dissolution of marriage.
