Premarital Agreements

Georgia law references the term “antenuptial agreement” for what is commonly known as a prenuptial agreement. A prenuptial agreement is a contract entered into prior to a marriage by the parties to the marriage to determine in advance of the marriage the effect that death or a divorce would have on the property of the parties. Other issues that are sometimes handled in a prenuptial agreement are alimony, child custody and support issues.

Antenuptial agreements can also be entered into after the marriage in which case they are then known as postnuptial agreements. I am experienced in preparing antenuptial agreements and reviewing those prepared by attorneys representing the other party. I will help you decide how the agreement protects or limits your rights under Georgia law and whether one is needed in your particular situation.
