Prenuptial agreement

A prenuptial agreement can significantly ease the burden on married couples in the event of a divorce. We recommend seeking advice from a family law attorney in Nuremberg.

Therefore, consider carefully before committing to a lifelong bond.

A prenuptial agreement may initially sound unromantic and is often not considered by those newly in love or recently married. However, in unforeseen circumstances, a prenuptial agreement can be invaluable, providing loving couples with the assurance that everything will be handled fairly and justly in the event of a separation. A correctly drafted and legally compliant prenuptial agreement protects spouses from lengthy legal disputes and ensures the safeguarding of personal and financial interests after a separation or divorce. To ensure a prenuptial agreement is legally sound, we advise consulting a specialist attorney for family law. The requirements for a legally valid prenuptial agreement are diverse and can be very complex. 

A prenuptial agreement is always advisable when you wish to clarify, either before or during the marriage, the conditions that should apply in the event of a separation or divorce. This is particularly important for partners with significantly unequal income or asset situations. 

Our Attorneys in Nuremberg Can Assist with Your Prenuptial Agreement

Generally, a prenuptial agreement should cover all important regulations and topics that are significant for the parties involved in the event of a separation. For example, a prenuptial agreement can regulate the division of marital property, the balancing of assets acquired during marriage, all aspects concerning assets, provisions for old age, as well as inheritance claims and maintenance claims. Furthermore, custody rights for common children are also typically defined in a prenuptial agreement. 

Our specialist female attorneys for family law can draft your prenuptial agreement with you, review existing contracts for potential pitfalls, and thus prevent unpleasant surprises in the event of a separation or divorce.
