Marital Settlement and Property Agreements

Litigation over issues pertaining to children, support, property, or other matters associated with your particular circumstances, is time consuming, costly, and emotionally draining to both the parties and their children. It is always better and more satisfying to resolve these issues out of court, rather than leaving them for resolution by a judge who has little familiarity with your family, your issues, or your case, prior to a trial.

Marital settlement and property agreements, reached after full financial disclosure and absent undue duress or coercion, are an effective and much less stressful way of resolving the wide-ranging issues that go along with divorce litigation. However, a poorly drafted agreement that fails cover all the issues, or fails to touch upon potential future issues that may arise, or that neglects to cover foreseeable contingencies, could very well leave loopholes to be exploited, thereby failing to protect your rights and interests.

A skilled family attorney will know about the need for waivers, releases, indemnification clauses, additional instruments for transferring assets and liabilities, exclusive possession or the sale of the marital home, conduct pertaining to the children and the exchange of information, enforcement provisions, future attorney’s fees and costs, and the like.

Don’t be left hanging with an inadequate or incomplete marital or property settlement agreement. The Law Offices Robert L.
