Prenuptial Agreements Line by Line: A Detailed Look at Prenuptial Agreements and How to Change Them to Meet Your Clients’ Needs

Written by an experienced attorney who frequently speaks on various family law topics, Prenuptial Agreements Line by Line is a comprehensive examination of the crucial components of a sample prenuptial agreement. Written for the family law practitioner, general practice attorney, paralegal, mediator, or law student, this book explains the reasoning behind different clauses in a prenuptial agreement, including those that address:

• The division of marital and separate assets
• Consideration
• Spousal support
• Attorneys' fees and costs
• Alternative dispute resolution
• Confidentiality to help meet the specific needs of each client

The sample agreement contained in this book outlines a variety of options and alternatives in drafting a prenuptial agreement, including some ways spousal support can be addressed, how property and debt division might be tackled, as well as potential confidentiality issues and potential agreements on alternative dispute resolution. While this agreement is not designed to include every possible provision, it acts as a useful starting point for the drafting of an enforceable contract. Prenuptial Agreements Line by Line is a valuable resource for anyone who has ever helped draft or negotiate a prenuptial agreement. A CD-ROM is included, which provides searchable PDF and Word versions of the book with a sample agreement.
