Please contact us to discuss representation in your high-asset divorce, which may include contesting or defending your prenuptial agreement.

Defending Your Interests -- Proficient in Highly Technical Litigation

Prenuptial litigation is a fact of life in family law today as we see more people in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond to dissolve second or third marriages, as well as younger people whose marriage involves substantial assets inherited or gifted from their family.

The validity and enforceability of a prenuptial agreement comes into play for divorcing people much more often today than in decades past. Our experienced lawyers have the knowledge to review your contracts and assess stipulations and details that concern you. Our focus is to find a permitted basis for enforcing or challenging the agreement based on your specific interests.

Indiana has a statute governing prenuptial agreements established after 1995. We are versed in the content and application of this law, and also highly capable of dealing with complex litigation over agreements established earlier than 1995.

• Ambiguities or omissions that affect the overall validity or interpretation of your prenuptial agreement
