Our Family Law Attorney Can Draft a Comprehensive Prenuptial Agreement
A prenuptial agreement is a contract. When our law firm drafts yours, we make sure it meets the appropriate legal parameters. Every state will have its laws that govern this document. Concerning the laws of your state, we will:
- Compile all personal and business financial data
- Assess all current and potential financial liabilities
- Protect your inheritance rights, including estate planning
- Protect your children from a prior marriage or relationship
- Customize your prenup to meet your unique needs
- Define your financial obligations and responsibilities
Since no marriage is identical to any other, we do not take a cookie-cutter approach to creating this vital document. We work hard to ensure you are treated fairly and your voice is heard.
North Carolina Laws that Affect Prenuptial Agreements
According to G.S. § 52B-4, a prenuptial agreement must be signed by both parties. The agreement must also respect the following:
- The right of each party to buy, sell, or otherwise manage property
- How property is divided when the agreement is enacted
- The right to receive, modify, or eliminate spousal support
- Wills and other estate planning documents and death benefits
This list is not exhaustive. When our law firm handles your case, we clearly delineate its boundaries regarding your rights and preferences.
How to Know if a Prenuptial Agreement Is Appropriate for You
Choosing to protect yourself with a prenuptial agreement does not have to mean you are planning for your marriage to end. Instead, it can provide you with security and peace of mind should a divorce occur.
You should consider making a premarital contract if:
- You bring real estate into the marriage
- You have significant financial assets
- You own a business or commercial venture
- You want to protect inherited possessions
When we draft an agreement for you, we ensure it complies with all relevant laws and will stand up in court when you need to rely on it. A prenup can also make the divorce process—if it occurs—simple, straightforward, and easier to manage.
How to Decide What to Include in Your Prenuptial Agreement
A prenuptial agreement should be fair to both spouses. The one we draft for you will include comprehensive financial disclosure to ensure no assets are hidden or omitted from the agreement. It can also encourage straightforward and open communication between you and your soon-to-be spouse.
A prenuptial agreement also protects children from previous relationships. Rather than portraying it negatively, let our family law team clarify the features and benefits of this important document.
Let Our Legal Team Scrutinize a Prenuptial Agreement Before You Sign It

We Can Help You Nullify a Forced or Grossly Unfair Prenuptial Agreement
In some cases, a prenuptial agreement is signed while one party is under duress. In other cases, it might have been signed without its contents or one party’s assets being fully disclosed. If one of these factors is true of your prenuptial agreement, it may qualify for nullification.
By invalidating or nullifying a prenuptial agreement, you are no longer bound by its limitations. Our prenuptial agreement attorney can help you modify all or some of an existing agreement, depending on the laws of your state.
