In a divorce, a court may approve spousal support, common referred to as alimony. However, post-divorce the lives and circumstances upon which the original spousal support determination was made may change. If one or both former spouses experience a significant change in income or other circumstances, a modification of the terms of the spousal support arrangements may be sought.

Our attorneys can assist you in petitioning the court for support modification. In addition if your former spouse has requested to modify the support levels, we can help you oppose such a request.

Newport Beach Prenuptial Agreement Attorneys

A prenuptial agreement allows both potential spouses to agree on financial and ownership matters for themselves rather than accept the general marriage laws with respect to property. A prenuptial agreement is like an insurance policy, you don’t plan to dissolve the marriage but you plan ahead for the slim possibility. By settling certain issues before the marriage, both parties can have piece of mind because it protects the rights of both parties.

Financial matters such as ownership and estate planning are addressed up front. For example, if one of the parties should happen to die without a will, the prenuptial agreement may set out how assets were intended to be dispersed.

An experience prenuptial agreement attorney can present you with all of your options and help you decide if a prenuptial agreement is right for you. If you decide you would like a prenuptial agreement, our Newport beach attorney can draft an agreement that is tailored to your particular needs. A prenuptial is a contract that should be carefully drafted and reviewed by both parties.
