Your Resource for Separation Agreements or Prenuptials

For a variety of reasons, some couples choose to draft and file a separation agreement, rather than proceed with a divorce. Other couples decide before or after marriage that they require a document detailing property distribution; and other matters should the marriage end in divorce. I have the experience and focus to develop clear, legally valid separation agreements, as well as prenuptial agreements and postnuptial agreements designed to stand up to any legal challenge.
