Prenuptial, Postnuptial, and Separation Agreements

A marital agreement can protect a business, an inheritance, or a plan for your children from an earlier relationship. It works best when both people understand it and sign it freely, with full information about each other's finances.

I represent only you. The other person should have a lawyer of their own. I do not negotiate with the other person or their lawyer unless we agree on that in writing, at a separate price.

Prenuptial Agreement Drafting

$1,250

• Intake about your goals, your property, and your plans for the marriage.
• Review of the financial disclosures both of you supply.
• One standard agreement and one round of revisions for you.

Prenuptial Agreement Review

$750

• Review of one proposed agreement of up to 20 pages, with the related financial disclosures.
• A written list of issues and a 60-minute discussion.

Redrafting and negotiation are separate.

Postnuptial Agreement Drafting

$1,750

• For one spouse in an existing marriage: intake, review of financial disclosures, one draft, and one round of revisions.

This service does not settle a separation, disputed facts, or complex property questions.

Separation-Agreement Review

$750

• Review of one proposed agreement of up to 20 pages, with the financial disclosures you supply.
• Written recommendations and a 60-minute consultation.

Preparing a replacement agreement, negotiation, retirement-plan division orders, and court work are separate.

Why disclosure and timing matter

Under North Carolina's premarital agreement law, whether an agreement holds up can depend on whether it was signed voluntarily and whether each person had fair disclosure of the other's property and debts. Starting early, and exchanging complete financial information, protects you both.

Not included, and when I refer you

• Negotiation with the other person or their lawyer, business or property valuations, unusually complex assets, and property or agreements involving another state or country.
• Any court proceeding.
• If a case is already pending, the facts are in dispute, or there are safety concerns, I tell you that this service does not fit and help you find the right kind of help.

Outside costs, such as notary fees, are extra.
