This article is being written to conclude and recap my series on deciding between the utilization of a postnuptial agreement or filing for divorce in Las Vegas, Nevada. I considered it important to write on this topic as there are situations in which each of these options may represent the best course of action. Deciding what is best for your particular situation will depend on the specifics of your case and is something that is best discussed with an attorney. If you or a loved one are in need of assistance then contact my office today to speak with a family law lawyer.
I addressed several topics over my recent articles. Issues which I analyzed included:
- The difference between legal separations and postnuptial agreements
- Choosing a postnuptial agreement over a divorce
- Choosing a divorce over a postnuptial agreement
- Hiring an attorney for a postnuptial agreement
There are multiple reasons why I chose to address these particular topics. First, a legal separation provides someone with immediately enforceable rights while a postnuptial agreement only provides protections after divorce has been filed and the Judge recognizes it. Also, a postnuptial agreement cannot contain provisions related to child custody. Second, a postnup may be a good option for spouses who wish to go their separate ways without formally divorcing at the current time. Conversely, and third, if the spouses know their marriage is ending then it may be more beneficial to file for an immediate divorce. Finally, retaining an attorney can help to ensure that your agreement is drafted correctly. This helps to ensure that it will be recognized and enforced by the Court.
