Texas Premarital Agreement Attorneys

The Woodlands Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements

Entering into a marriage is an exciting time. While it may not be as exciting or romantic, however, a prenuptial agreement can protect your future from the potentially negative consequences of divorce. Finances are one of the most common factors in divorces and our prenuptial agreement lawyers at Parchman Law Group can help. Drafting a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement can help clarify any potential issues and let you and your spouse focus on your marriage.

Reasons to Create a Nuptial Agreement

Before creating a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement, understanding your options and speaking openly with your spouse (or soon to be spouse) is key. With so many misconceptions out there, it is important to understand what can and can't go into a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement. For example, provisions relating to child custody, divorce incentives, or personal matters cannot be included. These matters must be handled outside of your nuptial agreement.

What Makes a Premarital Agreement Valid in TX?

For a prenup or postnup to be valid in Texas, it must meet all of the following requirements:

• It must be in writing, oral contracts are not enforceable
• Both parties must have negotiated the terms and agreed upon them completely
• No party must have been forced to sign the agreement through threat or force
• The terms of the agreement must be fair for both sides
• There must be transparency throughout the agreement
