In Pennsylvania, property division is determined based upon what is fair and just. This standard carries substantial risk for spouses with significant assets, property obtained prior to the marriage, or specific thoughts about how the assets should be allocated, because this standard is subject to interpretation. At Scaringi & Scaringi, P.C., our family law attorneys help protect clients by creating a prenuptial agreement (before marriage) or postnuptial agreement (after marriage). Contact Scaringi & Scaringi for assistance in Central Pennsylvania.

Our family law attorneys take a full-service approach to creating a prenuptial agreement. We evaluate all concerns and address them in the agreement, such as:

• Assets brought into the marriage
• Disposal of assets in the future
• Tax consequences of specific asset division agreements
• Estate planning concerns
• Children from prior marriages
• Protection of family or small businesses

When preparing a marital agreement, not only do you benefit from the experience and knowledge of our family law attorneys, you also have access to the complementary knowledge and experience of the other attorneys at Scaringi & Scaringi, P.C.. For example, we enhance the structure of your agreement by working with our estate planning lawyers to address specific estate planning issues in your premarital agreement, such as providing financial support for children from prior marriages.

We prepare prenuptial agreements for clients before marriage and help them negotiate the terms of the agreement with their future spouse. These agreements must be completed with sufficient time prior to the marriage to avoid future claims of duress or coercion. However, we also assist many individuals after a marriage by creating a postnuptial agreement. Finally, we help individuals contemplating divorce create a marital settlement agreement.

Regardless of the agreement involved, we work to ensure there is full disclosure of assets and debts so that the agreement cannot be successfully challenged or voided in the future. We work carefully to create a valid and enforceable prenuptial agreement which protects your rights and interests. Contact our family law attorneys to discuss how you can protect and preserve your assets in the event of a future divorce through a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement.
