Agreements

Negotiate your family law matter instead of litigating.

There are many types of agreements, including Prenuptial Agreements, Postnuptial Agreements, Parenting Plans, and Separation/Marital Settlement Agreements.

What Are the Different Types of Agreements?

Pre/Postnuptial Agreement

A Prenuptial or Postnuptial Agreement can serve as a “roadmap for your marriage.” While they cannot address child custody or visitation, a Pre/Postnuptial Agreement can address issues related to alimony, property division, inheritance, adultery, and protection of significant assets.

Custody/Parenting Plans

For unmarried parents, a Parenting Plan can document agreements on custody, child support, payment of expenses, and other important issues related to your children.

Separation/Marital Settlement Agreements

A Separation Agreement (sometimes called a Marital Settlement Agreement or MSA) can resolve some or all issues arising out of your marriage, including grounds for divorce, child custody, child support, alimony, property division, insurance, debts, and other financial matters. With a signed Agreement, you can get divorced without an extended physical separation or contested litigation.

Why Should We Agree?

Agreements have many benefits including:

It can finalize the dispute without a judge having to issue a decision.
It can save time AND money by avoiding a lengthy court battle.
It can settle issues privately without involving friends, family, or business partners.
You can be creative when crafting solutions for what is most important to you.
You can protect significant financial assets.

Direct and Effective

I retained Laurie's services for Divorce/Child Custody back in 2015. Not only did she sit down and take the time to get the big picture of what was going on in my life, she was direct and to the point about how she could help me. I contacted her again in 2019 to resolve issues regarding my ex's contempt of the Marriage Settlement Agreement and all went smoothly. Everything was handled out of court!

Peace of Mind

My ex-husband and I were at an impasse on a separation agreement. Once Laurie and her team stepped in, we were able to reach agreement and finalize the divorce. I received regular updates and clear instructions on what I needed to do. She made a difficult process much more manageable!

Extremely Personable and Responsive

Laurie was wonderful to work with and really took the time to walk me through every paragraph of the prenuptial agreement to make sure I understood and felt comfortable with everything. She was timely and thorough. Extremely personable and responsive, especially considering I reached out only a few weeks before my wedding. Highly recommend
