Postnuptial Agreement Services in Staten Island

Postnuptial Agreement Drafting

We draft postnuptial agreements for Staten Island couples that address property classification, spousal maintenance, business interests, and other financial terms. Because postnups face heightened scrutiny as contracts between fiduciaries, we ensure full financial disclosure, fair dealing, and compliance with all New York requirements for enforceability.

Asset Reclassification

A postnuptial agreement can reclassify assets between separate and marital property. For Staten Island couples, this is useful when one spouse wants to convert separate property to joint ownership or when the couple wants to designate certain assets acquired during the marriage as one spouse's separate property.

Business Protection During Marriage

If one spouse starts a business or professional practice during the marriage, a postnup can establish how that interest will be treated in divorce. We draft provisions for Staten Island business owners that protect the enterprise while providing the non-owner spouse with fair consideration.

Reconciliation Agreements

Couples who have experienced marital difficulties and are working toward reconciliation sometimes use postnuptial agreements to establish terms that address the issues that led to the conflict. We help Staten Island couples draft reconciliation-focused postnups that provide financial certainty.

Postnuptial Agreement Review

If your spouse has proposed a postnuptial agreement, independent legal review is essential. We review proposed postnups for Staten Island residents, explain the implications of each provision, and negotiate modifications that protect your interests.

Postnuptial Agreement Considerations for Staten Island Couples

Staten Island couples who purchase additional properties, start businesses, or experience significant income changes during marriage can use postnuptial agreements to establish how these developments will be handled.

For couples considering estate planning alongside their postnuptial agreement, we can coordinate the two to ensure that property designations in the postnup align with wills, trusts, and beneficiary designations.
