Same-sex Prenuptial Agreements
Same-sex Premarital Agreement Lawyer In Suffolk & Nassau Counties
When considering marriage as a same-sex couple, it is important to consider the benefits of prenuptial agreements. Most people think that only the wealthy use prenuptial agreements, but that is not the case at all. A prenuptial agreement can be formed between two people before they marry to protect any interests and assets that they may have in the event of death or dissolution of the marriage or civil union.
There is also a common misconception that creating a prenuptial agreement is indicative of lacking faith that your marriage will last. Rather than creating more stress in a marriage, prenups actually help relieve worries. Knowing that you and your beneficiaries are protected in case of unforeseen outcomes can strengthen your marriage as it allows you to focus on building your relationship, instead of potential troubles.

What can a prenuptial agreement protect?
By taking the initiative to draft an agreement that you and your partner agree on prior to your marriage, you can save much of the headaches and emotional difficulties if your marriage does not work out. The agreement can protect any and all issues that may arise in a divorce along with any additional language that the parties may desire. Let our firm guide you through securing your own financial future rather than having to fight for it through the courts.
When drafted with a professional attorney, some assets your prenup can protect:
- Non-marital property you owned solely before the marriage
- Property interests of children from other marriages
- Personal savings
- Inheritance (funds and heirlooms)
- Life insurance ownership rights
- One spouse from paying the debts of the other
You should also be aware that a prenuptial agreement does not completely cover all issues that could ultimately arise in a divorce. There are some matters that will need addressing by a divorce lawyer to settle if and only if you choose to end your same-sex marriage. This is due to the fact that some things are totally dependent on unpredictable future circumstances.
A prenuptial agreement typically cannot dictate matters involving:

Frequently Asked Questions
Are prenuptial agreements recognized in same-sex divorces in New York?
Prenuptial agreements are recognized and enforceable in same-sex divorces, just as they are in opposite-sex divorces. These agreements can help define the division of assets and spousal support arrangements, provided they meet legal standards and were entered into voluntarily by both parties.
