Collaborative Law

Premarital and Marital Agreements
For many clients contemplating marriage, protecting and preserving assets and other forms of accumulated wealth is essential for peace of mind. Albeit for tax reasons, protection designed for one’s future spouse against claims that otherwise may decimate the martial estate, or to simply carry forth a family’s legacy, Premarital Agreements are a cost-effective planning tools. Once married, many couples opt to convert various assets or wealth that otherwise stand as community property under Texas law into holdings owned by each spouse as their “sole and separate” property. These agreements are known as Marital Agreements or Partition and Exchange Agreements, and can serve to effectively dictate the reachable wealth of each spouse in the event of dissolution, death, or catastrophe.

The choice that various individuals and couples make to adopt a child is undoubtedly one of the most exciting and joyous occasions in family law. Despite this, the legal process can be daunting without a trained advocate.

The end result is a newly-formed notion of “family” – and one that is truly touching to watch unfold in its final phases.
