Prenuptial Agreement Attorney in Manhattan

In the summer of 2011, legislators in the state of New York made the state the sixth and largest state in the country to successfully pass a bill that would legalize the institution of same sex marriage. This, however, also opened up an entirely new area of family law - that of same sex divorce. While the same legally speaking, these processes are very different in regards to the emotional aspect. It is therefore vastly important that those who are facing the dissolution of a gay or lesbian marriage receive the representation of a compassionate Manhattan family lawyer that they can rely upon.

Same Sex Prenuptial Agreements - Protecting Your Rights

While dealing with a divorce is difficult enough, dealing with the legal documents before the marriage begins (such as the prenuptial agreement) can be just as, if not more, tricky. At the Kepanis Law Firm, they recognize how daunting it can be to draft prenups and are prepared to do everything possible to provide their clients with the compassionate and supportive guidance that they need so that the end product is legally waterproof and tailored to the individual needs of each party involved.

Prior to the legalization of gay and lesbian marriage, same sex couples had the option of creating a cohabitation agreement. This was similar to a prenuptial agreement, however, it was limited in its scope; it virtually treated each party as strangers. Prenups are much more personal and much more effective and if you are entering into a same sex marriage, it is highly encouraged that you consider drafting your own. No one wants to consider that a marriage could fail, but no one wants to be unprotected should it occur. So call today and let them establish safeguards to protect both you and your loved ones.
