Pre-Nuptial Agreements:

A pre-nuptial agreement, also called an ante-nuptial agreement, is a contract between two unmarried people who are engaged to be married. The agreement may address issues such as division of property, financial support and related matters in the event the marriage ends in divorce. It may also address what happens to property when one spouse dies. A pre-nuptial agreement is very useful in instances of second or subsequent marriages, especially where children are involved.

Post-Nuptial Agreements:

A post-nuptial agreement is similar to a pre-nuptial agreement in terms of what it covers. However, it is completed after the couple is married. A post-nuptial agreement is useful if the finances of either party change and he or she would like to make provisions for children from a prior marriage. There are other areas that can be addressed as well.

Divorce Coaching or Unbundled Representation:

If you would like the reassurance and advice of an experienced lawyer without the high fees that usually go along with that, you can consult with Diane as a divorce or family law coach. This is called unbundled representation and it means that you would be meeting with Diane “as needed.” Diane will help you prepare court paperwork, tell you what to say in court, and what to expect after court. While a lot of folks go to court on their own, they usually don’t consult with a lawyer until it’s too late to change anything. Their paperwork is all wrong, the judge is annoyed with them, and they don’t get what they need from the court. Don’t let that be you. Call today for a free consultation and let us tell you how we can help you help yourself.
