Top Georgia Prenuptial Agreement Lawyers

If you live in the State of Georgia and are about to get married, creating a GA prenup should be a serious consideration. While you might feel uncomfortable broaching the subject with your soon-to-be-spouse, the stigma involved in creating a prenuptial agreement before getting married has waned considerably in recent years, and you may find that the benefits of having a Georgia prenuptial agreement far outweigh the costs. If you are already married and are considering a postnuptial agreement, one of our Atlanta, GA or Athens, GA family law attorneys would be happy to discuss this option with you.

Why Create A Prenuptial Agreement?

Especially if you have assets, a business, or children, hiring one of our experienced Georgia Prenuptial Agreement Attorneys should be a serious consideration. Among the many benefits:

• A GA prenuptial (prenup) can help protect any assets you may own at the time of your marriage.
  
  • House
  • Automobiles
  • Stocks, Bonds and Certificates of Deposit
  • Premarital inheritances
  • Business assets
• A prenuptial agreement can also protect your children in the event of divorce and in the event that a parent dies.
  
  • Prenuptial agreements in Georgia can provide clear directives of each parent’s wishes with regard to assets that will pass to their children
• Second marriages can also benefit from a Georgia prenuptial agreement if one of the parties is paying child support or alimony from a previous relationship.
  • A GA prenuptial agreement may also protect a married spouse in the event that their husband or wife dies or does not pay the obligation as agreed
• If you own your own business, a prenuptial agreement in Georgia can protect both the business owner and their spouse from becoming obligated for business expenses and debts. A prenup can help keep the business separate from the marriage, for better or worse.

There are many good reasons to sign a prenuptial agreement before the wedding, but it is important to enlist the assistance of a qualified Georgia attorney if you decide to do so. Many prenuptial agreements will not hold up in a court of law due to negligence or ignorance with the process, and a Georgia family law attorney can help you avoid these issues and make sure your prenup is legally valid.

Make Sure Your Prenup Is Legally Valid

There are many reasons why a perfectly good GA prenup may not hold up in a court of law.

• First, the prenuptial agreement may not be in writing or, it may not be properly signed.
•  If one of the parties that signed the agreement did so under duress or through coercion of some kind, the prenuptial will not be considered valid.
•  Georgia prenuptial agreements can also be thrown out if one or both parties supplied inaccurate or false information at the time the agreement was made.
