Charleston, West Virginia, Prenuptial Agreements
While many couples are hesitant to sign a prenuptial agreement because it seems unromantic or even mercenary, a prenuptial agreement also allows couples to fairly disclose their assets, protect one party from another’s significant debts and understand each person’s intentions for the marriage. Anyone entering a marriage should consider his or her own personal investments and the serious financial commitment made at the time of marriage. At The Lord Law Firm, PLLC, we are experienced in protecting our clients’ rights and interests in the prenuptial agreement process.
A prenuptial agreement can protect your financial security and your family.

What is a prenuptial agreement?
A prenuptial agreement or “prenup” is an important tool to protect your rights and financial interests before entering a marital contract. It is an agreement made by both parties to the marriage that determines how assets (and debts) will be divided at the time of divorce. Our lawyers offer experienced advocacy and support to protect the rights of our clients interested in prenuptial agreements. We can draft an agreement, make modifications on your behalf, or simply review a prenuptial agreement to ensure that your rights and interests are secured.
A prenuptial agreement may be right for you if:
- You are coming into the marriage with significant assets
- You have children from a former marriage
- You are an older couple with significant assets and investments
- You have complex assets including pensions, stocks, or a family business
- You or your fiancé has significant debts accrued before the marriage
You can protect your financial security and your children’s future
A prenuptial agreement allows you to protect what you have now so that you do not lose significant assets at the time of divorce. It also allows you to protect your assets for your children from a former marriage instead of directing all of your assets to your spouse at the time of death. Prenuptial agreements allow you to make important decisions to protect your wealth and your children before entering a marriage agreement.
