In Texas, the majority of marital property is typically considered community property. In a divorce, the judge divides property and debt in the manner he or she sees fit. If you encounter a challenging financial situation, such as outstanding debt due to medical bills, a car crash, or other unforeseen circumstances, the money you owe can be collected out of community property. Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can structure your assets in a manner that protects you and your spouse in a wide variety of situations. Certainly no one wants to consider divorce as a possibility, but these tools can help in other ways as well. They are important pieces in asset protection and estate planning.

Prenuptial Agreements

Prenuptial agreements take place prior to marriage. They ensure that each spouse's assets will be protected in a wide variety of situations. The experienced attorneys of Coffey, Stout & Peace, L.L.P. can work with you to create an agreement that meets your needs.
