At Greenwood Associates, our divorce lawyers have over 30 years of experience crafting prenuptial agreements for individuals in Provo and throughout Utah County. We know that the first step in creating a successful contract is to be honest and comprehensive. You must disclose all of your assets, and you must be honest about what you want to protect the most.
Full Disclosure Builds a Strong Agreement
Are there certain assets you want to make certain stay in your family so they can be passed down to your children from a previous marriage? Whatever the case may be, we find that being upfront about these issues not only creates a strong contract but also becomes a positive communication experience for the spouses-to-be. Full and fair disclosure is also one of the keys to an enforceable agreement under Utah law, because an agreement built on hidden assets is far more vulnerable to challenge. We will carefully guide you through this process.
Clear Language That Holds Up in Court
Once all of the information is on the table, we proceed to the creation of the contract. The language must be clear. There must be no ambiguities. Anything that is unclear could create an opportunity for a dispute if the prenuptial agreement actually has to be used. We hope the document will never have to be used, but if it is, our goal is to make certain that it cannot be easily contested and that it holds up in court. We also make sure the agreement is signed voluntarily and with enough time before the wedding so that neither party can later claim they were pressured.
Our attorneys encourage you to plan for the best. Plan for a long and healthy marriage. Divorce is a worst-case scenario, but it is always a possibility. Create a prenuptial agreement to make certain that you are protected if a divorce becomes necessary.
