The Prenup Law Firm - Lawyers Focused On Prenuptial Agreements

Helping Couples Across Texas

Based in Austin but operating virtually throughout Texas, the Prenup Law Firm helps individuals and couples discuss, negotiate, and draft prenuptial agreements.

Many people are not aware that marriage is one of, if not the most, significant change to their legal status. When you get married, you are signing a contract with a person with default terms written by the government of the state that marries you. Once you are newly married, your spouse may be entitled to half of your assets, you may be liable for your spouse’s debts, and your spouse may be entitled to alimony from you. If you get divorced without a properly prepared prenuptial agreement, the future of your finances may be in the hands of a family court judge.

You don’t have to surrender control over your legal rights and financial future at the altar. With a properly drafted and negotiated prenuptial agreement, you can customize the legal terms that govern your marriage with your spouse. A prenuptial agreement may allow you to protect your assets, limit your liability for your partner’s debts, clarify inheritance, protect the rights of children from previous relationships, and reduce the cost and hassle of a potential future divorce.

At the Prenup Law Firm, we believe that the act of negotiating a prenuptial agreement with your partner can strengthen your relationship by bringing clarity to your finances, aligning your incentives, and unifying both of you under a common goal.

Areas of Practice

Prenuptial Agreements

At the Prenup Law Firm, we have dedicated our practice to prenuptial agreements. We are proud that our prenuptial agreement is a tested, thorough, and comprehensive document that can protect our client’s interests.

Postnuptial Agreements

A prenuptial agreement is for a couple that is getting married, whereas a postnuptial agreement is for a couple that is already married. If you are already married, it is not too late. We can help you with a postnuptial agreement to protect yourself going forward.

Cohabitation Agreements

Are you living with someone in a long-term relationship but are unmarried and have no plans to get married? If so, a cohabitation agreement may be a good solution for you. It is a legal contract between two people who live together in a long-term relationship but are not in a legally recognized civil union. It outlines each partner’s rights and responsibilities during the relationship and in the event of a breakup, death, or other significant event.

While no one gets married expecting to get divorced, a prenuptial agreement can help ensure that your interests and assets are protected in the event that there is a dissolution of your marriage.

Ways prenuptial agreements can help protect your future:

  • Provide for asset division

  • Limit spousal support (as long as it is not unconscionable)

  • Prevent drawn out divorce

  • Protect your business

  • Protect a spouse from the other spouse’s debts

  • Preserve your inheritance or estate

In its most basic form, a prenuptial agreement is an agreement signed by both parties prior to marriage that determines what will happen if the marriage ends. It can help determine how assets are distributed, ensure separate property remains separate, and limit the amount of spousal support a person must pay.
