We make sure both parties have independent counsel where appropriate, full disclosure, and timing that respects each side. That's how agreements survive scrutiny.
Customized to your life
Premarital businesses, real estate, inheritance, future children — your agreement should reflect your actual situation, not a template.
Nelson Jones has helped couples in Sandy and throughout the Salt Lake Valley draft and review numerous prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. If you are considering one of these agreements, you need to know their pros and cons. Once you’ve decided on having one, you then need to ensure the terms are in your best interests and the contract itself is valid and enforceable in court.
Prenuptial agreements are made before the marriage, and can help predetermine how your assets will be divided should your marriage end in divorce. While these are often used to address the income disparities between spouses, they can also be used as a tool for blended families, to protect the interests of children from previous marriages. These agreements ensure your marital assets are handled how you would want them to be, and not left up to negotiation or in the hands of the court somewhere down the road. Postnuptial agreements are made for similar reasons but are drafted after the marriage is in place.
