Separation Agreements

Prenuptial, Postnuptial, and Separation Agreements

Lauren B. Abramson, Esq. - White Plains, New York, Lawyer

I handle prenuptial, postnuptial, and separation agreements. If you are concerned about your financial assets and wish to protect yourself and your spouse from a financial battle in the case of divorce, I can help you prepare an agreement that meets your individual needs.

Prenuptial Agreements

Prenuptial agreements involve more than just finances. It is important that you understand what the language means in these agreements. How will this affect your life if you get a divorce, or if you have children and get a divorce? It is critical that you think ahead. I will provide you with straightforward, direct legal counsel so that you understand this process.

Separation Agreements

Separation agreements separate married couples financially. If circumstances arise within the marriage that suggest one or both parties would be protected by separating their assets, such as a gambling addiction, drinking problem, or mental illness of one of the spouses, I can help you develop an agreement that is appropriate for your unique situation.

A separation agreement does not have to be followed by a divorce. However, it does allow the couple to protect themselves financially while taking time to think about this option.

Postnuptial Agreements

A postnuptial agreement can be similar to either a prenuptial or a separation agreement. If you decide after you have been married that you wish to develop an agreement to protect your financial assets in the case of divorce, I can help you develop a postnuptial agreement that addresses your unique concerns and circumstances.

Think ahead. With over 20 years of experience handling difficult and complex family law problems, I can advise you as to the possible scenarios and issues that must be considered when preparing a prenuptial, postnuptial, or separation agreement.
