-- Marriage is an essential institution, but, there are potentially serious and long lasting legal implications that many fail to take into account before their wedding date. Failing to plan can leave people’s lives destroyed should they decide to divorce. “A prenuptial agreement allows couples to set the terms of their possible divorce when there’s good will among the parties and avoids a situation where people are spending tens of thousands of dollars on divorce lawyers’ fees because one or both parties are bitter and want to use courts to spite each other over personal, rather than legal issues. It helps people move on in a civilized manner that does not fully destroy their relationship, which is crucial for people who have children at the time of the divorce and need to maintain some level of civility to cooperate in the best interests of the child. A contentious divorce without a prenup often makes that impossible,”says former New York State Senator and New York prenuptial agreement attorney David Storobin.
State Sen. Storobin, who regularly speaks on TV and radio as an expert in legal issues, recommends prenuptial agreements for all marriages. Prenuptial agreements can help to protect assets, gifts, business and professional practices, retirement funds, investments, inheritance and more.
Storobin’s own Storobin Law Firm PLLC is known for offering comprehensive prenuptial agreements. “A 6 page prenup will not be able to cover all the bases. You want to make sure that your attorney focuses on family law cases, in general, and prenups, in particular, so he does not re-sell you a short form as a real prenup,” argues State Sen. Storobin, noting that his agreements are usually 25 to 40 pages long.
In the 21st century, when nearly half the marriages end in divorce, the prenuptial agreement is a way to avoid a painful situation becoming even more acrimonious and drawn out. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst, and then you can move into your marriage calm and confident that your assets are protected, and that you are both coming together with a mutual understanding of what your marriage will be. Just like one enters a business partnership with a plan in case the arrangement does not work, it is smart to enter a family partnership with a real plan.
Sen. Storobin is available to be interviewed on the topic of prenuptial agreements.
