Validity And Enforceability of Pre-Marital And Post-Marital

As a Family Law Attorney for 28 years, drafted many pre-marital and post-marital agreements and advised many clients regarding them.

As a Family Law Judge for 18 years, presided over numerous trials where one party was challenging the validity and/or enforceability of a pre-marital agreement or post-marital agreement.

Tried a case involving a post-marital agreement in which the two spouses entered into and signed a post-marital agreement, after both consulting with an attorney of their own choosing. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, one spouse was given most of the community property in exchange for a spousal support waiver. This case involved a long-term marriage with children. It was a lengthy trial with each party represented by counsel. One party was the “breadwinner” and the other party was the “homemaker”. Credibility was a very important factor in the Court’s decision.
