Texas Prenuptial Agreements Attorney

If you are getting married in Texas, a prenuptial agreement can be an important part of planning for your future. Call a Texas family law attorney to learn more.

Forming a prenuptial agreement may not sound especially romantic. What is more, you may be under the impression that a prenuptial agreement is only designed for high-asset individuals and couples. The truth is, though, that nearly all couples who are about to tie the knot may benefit from the planning and peace of mind that a prenuptial agreement offers. To learn more about prenuptial agreements and why they are advantageous, call the office of The Powell Law Firm today.

The Advantages of a Prenuptial Agreement

Forming a prenuptial agreement is about planning for your future and protecting the best interests of both you and your spouse-to-be. When you form a prenuptial agreement, you and your partner can take comfort in knowing that there is no confusion about what will happen to property or assets in the event of a divorce or death of either party. Indeed, a prenuptial agreement can be used to ensure that children from another marriage are provided for, that a spousal support award (in the event of a divorce) is fair and just, and that both parties are protected from liability from the debts of the other. In the event that divorce does happen in the future, having a prenuptial agreement will mitigate future conflict and disagreement about how property should be divided.

What is Included in a Prenuptial Agreement?

A prenuptial agreement can be used to address most financial issues. For example, a prenuptial agreement might include information about spousal support, splitting a family business, distribution of assets, protection from debt, division of property, etc. in the event of a divorce. It might also include information about who is responsible and permitted to make financial decisions throughout the course of the marriage, such as buying or selling real estate. A prenuptial agreement cannot be used to address child custody and cannot include anything illegal or unconscionable.

Working with a Lawyer to Create a Prenuptial Agreement

If you are thinking about creating a prenuptial agreement, it is best to start by having an honest conversation with your spouse and the benefits of doing so and your intent. From there, you should work with an attorney; never create a prenuptial agreement without legal representation. An attorney will not only make sure that the agreement is fair and valid but will also make sure that all assets and elements are accounted for.

What Our Clients
Have To Say

  • “I wanted to take the time to thank you [John Powell III] for helping me through a tough time in my life. Your guidance and voice of reason really helped me more than you will ever know. I had a previous attorney that I felt could have really cared less about me or the situation. Once on board with you, I felt an immediate difference and I was thankful for your quick response. I could not have finished this process without you and I am glad you were able to have so much hands on time with me. Again, thank you for everything you did for me and my son!”

    (S.R.)

  • “John Powell III was very helpful through the entire process of my divorce which involved a custody fight over my 3-year-old daughter. Mr. Powell has a strong working rapport with the Brazoria County family court. He was very patient, walking me through every step, knowing what to expect from my wife's attorney. We were ultimately successful and I would highly recommend him. As for my daughter, she is doing great. She has advanced to the preschool 2 class early, she is now 3.5 and now goes to school with the 4-5 year old's. Her emotional and behavioral issues have disappeared. Thanks to Mr. Powell's hard work my daughter will have a great chance at life.”

    (K.K.)

  • “Just wanted to say thanks for handling my post-divorce property division issue in a timely and professional manner. Especially your attention to detail and some quick-witted humor as well. Your firm was referred to us by a friend which can always be somewhat awkward but you made us feel at ease through the entire process. I would not hesitate to recommend your firm to anyone if the need arises.”

    (J.B.)

  • “Dear Mr. Powell: I want to thank you for your great service and express my gratitude. I am extremely pleased how everything was handled and I have the highest possible opinion about your professionalism, the quality of your service and your attitude toward me as a client. Thank you again, best regards.”

    (M.K.S.)

  • “I had what I learned was not your stereotypical divorce case. John Powell III was extremely understanding of the situation and worked with myself and my former spouse to navigate the legal pitfalls in our, and our children's case. Everything was resolved amicably and with minimal impact to our family. Without Mr. Powell's assistance I do not know that we would have gotten to such a positive place.”

    (A.W.)

  • “John Powell III is a compassionate and thorough attorney. My case was a complex custody issue that required work in two wide-spread counties. Mr. Powell was able to efficiently overcome this added challenge. He is patient and clear in explaining concepts of the law. Even after the case was closed, Mr. Powell was available to explain the final judgment and to help ensure we were following the Judge's intent. It is very comforting to know that if additional issues arise he is there to act as my advocate.”
