​Milwaukee Marital Agreements 
Collaborative divorce ​attorney Diane S. Diel is available to consult with you on both prenuptial and postnuptial marital agreements. Retaining an experienced divorce attorney to draft your pre-marital or post-marital agreement may give you the peace of mind that you have created a legally binding contract. 

​What is a Prenuptial Agreement?

A prenuptial agreement or “prenup” is a written contract created by two people before they are married.  A prenuptial agreement is based on thorough financial disclosure of both of you. The goal of the prenup is to specify what each person's property rights will be after the marriage. Prenups are not only for the wealthy. Couples who are marrying with children from prior relationships or who have other family and financial relationships to protect  can  benefit as a Prenuptial agreement can clarify  financial rights, protect separate property, protect children, and protect one spouse  from the debts of the other. 

​What is a Postnuptial Agreement?

A postnuptial agreement is drafted when couples decide during a marriage to create a written and legally binding agreement that spells out how marital property will be divided in case of divorce. This can become necessary to protect one spouse's assets from the debts of another spouse, or to protect certain assets of a spouse from the risks associated with an entrepreneurial effort. Sometimes, a Postnuptial Agreement is needed simply to create clarity for both spouses. 

​Why Consider a Prenuptial or Postnuptial Agreement in Milwaukee?

​If you don't make a prenuptial agreement, Wisconsin state law determines what happens to that property at divorce or death. Executing a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement allows for peace of mind.
