Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Postnuptial Agreement?

A postnuptial agreement is a legal contract created by spouses after entering into marriage, outlining the division of assets, liabilities, and possibly spousal support, in the event of a separation or divorce. Unlike a prenuptial agreement, which is signed before marriage, a postnuptial is negotiated during the marriage. It serves to protect both parties' interests by setting clear expectations and reducing conflicts, ensuring that all financial matters are addressed transparently and fairly.

Why Might We Need a Postnuptial Agreement?

Couples may consider a postnuptial agreement for several reasons: changes in financial situation, such as starting or selling a business; receiving a significant inheritance; or the desire to clarify financial responsibilities. It can strengthen the marriage by reducing financial uncertainties and fostering trust. At Eiges & Orgel, PLLC, we help you address these changes proactively, ensuring that new financial dynamics do not disrupt marital harmony.

Are Postnuptial Agreements Legally Enforceable in Brooklyn, NY?

Yes, postnuptial agreements are legally enforceable in New York. For enforceability, the agreement must meet specific legal requirements, such as written form, fair disclosure, and voluntariness of both parties. Our Brooklyn-based attorneys specialize in family law and understand the nuances of state and local legal standards. We ensure your postnuptial agreement complies with all legal criteria, providing you with peace of mind that the agreement will stand up in court, if needed.

Can a Postnuptial Agreement Be Changed Once It's Signed?

Yes, a postnuptial agreement can be amended if both parties consent to the changes. Circumstances such as financial changes or relationship dynamics may necessitate adjustments to the agreement.
