Prenuptial Agreements

Charlotte Prenuptial Agreement Lawyer

Helping Clients Draft Prenuptial Agreements in North Carolina

A prenuptial agreement can protect your spouse and your children’s financial interests. Without one, your assets could go to your spouse’s kids from a previous marriage or an ex-spouse. To create a valid prenup, the agreement must be written and notarized before marriage. The prenup needs to be reasonable and fair, according to both parties’ disclosure of all assets and liabilities.

What is the Purpose of a Prenup?

A prenuptial agreement can do all the following:

  • Determine which assets are community or separate property
  • Determine a method to distribute property in the event of a divorce
  • Provide financial relief to children from a previous marriage/relationship
  • Keep business interests, heirlooms, and other forms of inheritance within the family

Does a Prenup Protect You From Alimony?

A prenuptial agreement cannot predetermine child custody or child support issues, nor require either spouse to do something illegal. It CAN waive a spouse’s right to alimony and provide financial incentives for divorce. It is imperative to work with an attorney to ensure the prenup adheres to state law and can be upheld in court. Each spouse should consult their lawyer when creating a prenup. Our firm can guide you through the complexities of the legal process and ensure your assets and future are protected.

Protect Your Assets With a North Carolina Prenuptial Agreement

Whether you have children from a previous marriage, own or help run a family business, have significant assets, or have given up your career to get married, you should consider creating a prenuptial (before marriage) or postnuptial (after marriage) agreement to protect your assets in the event of a divorce.

While discussing the possibility of a “prenup” with your fiancé can be difficult, such an agreement can benefit both spouses and may resolve issues in a marriage when they are properly addressed beforehand.

    - Former Client
    "A True Professional"
    Eric Meredith represented me during what turned out to be a lengthy divorce settlement. During the first meeting, he fully explained the process ahead and answered all my questions and concerns. I still remember the feeling of relief after that meeting knowing I had a true professional in my corner. Eric, along with his Paralegal Julie, kept me updated along the way and were quick to respond with any additional issues. Not only did he call with any updates to the case, he also would ask how I was doing. I cannot recommend Eric at Jetton & Meredith enough.
    - Tim
    "I highly recommend Mark should you ever need an attorney."
    I highly recommend Mark. I hired him to handle a simple assault charge that was filed against me. Mark handled it professionally and expeditiously. He explained each step in the process, and everything happened just as he described. He is exactly the type of lawyer you want representing you.

    "I cannot stress enough how great the customer service was with Jetton & Meredith"
    I cannot stress enough how great the customer service was with Jetton & Meredith, with my case being a little more complicated I had the opportunity to work with both Mr. Jetton and Mr. Meredith. I can say they know their stuff, Mr. Jetton was able to get my case dismissed the first time we went to court, no questions asked. Working with Mr. Meredith was a longer process but he walked me through the steps and gave me realistic expectations of an outcome that he was able to provide just as he stated he would do. I couldn’t be more pleased with my decision to hire Jetton & Meredith as my attorneys, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of an attorney!
    - Former Client

Not only will I use this law firm again, but I would also and have already recommended them to the people I care most for. Thank you for all you’ve done.
