Defending Prenuptial Agreements in New York

Are You Facing Divorce? Is Your Prenuptial Agreement Getting Attacked?

You signed your prenuptial agreement in good faith. You negotiated the terms carefully. Both parties were represented by legal counsel. The agreement protects your rights and financial interests fairly. Now that you are considering divorce, is your spouse suddenly claiming that it is unfair and invalid?

Prenuptial agreements are legal contracts, negotiated and signed by both parties. When they are executed properly, judges consider them legally airtight. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean that parties won't try anything to break them, particularly if one party brought little in the way of personal assets to the marriage.

The law offices of Jonathan D. Katz has been representing clients on both sides of the prenuptial agreement issue for more than 25 years. I have seen how judges rule on the issue, and I know what defense strategies to apply to make sure your prenup holds up in court. If you are considering divorce and have a prenuptial agreement in place, act proactively. I will evaluate your agreement and inform you about issues that are potential areas of litigation. I will also help you understand your best options for successfully defending your financial and personal interests in court.

If your prenuptial agreement was property executed, with both parties represented by their own lawyers, prenuptial agreements are difficult to attack. Talk to an experienced attorney to make sure yours is airtight before you file for divorce.

From my offices in New Paltz, New York, I represent clients in divorce and family law matters in communities throughout the Hudson Valley and the Catskill region. Contact my offices to arrange an initial consultation.

Upon interviewing Jonathan Katz, I decided to retain him because I was impressed with his approach to divorce: he advocated communication, conflict reduction, and efficiency, toward reducing the stress and monetary expense already inherent to any legal action.

When my case took unexpected turns, Jonathan was agile and effective in his response, even when the straightforward divorce turned into an international custody battle that went to federal court. Responsive at every turn, efficient, and wise in his counsel, Mr. Katz's legal services gave me real value for my investment.

Being a single mom, I had enough stress in my life. I had no idea how to go about protecting my self. My daughters were my priority. Jon walked me through the process. He turned a difficult time into a workable solution.

Jon's integrity towards his clients is what makes him a standout attorney. He makes it a priority to know whats important to you. You're not just a number. He is up front with you right from the start. He will not string you along just for his financial benefit. He is only willing to settle the case if thats truly what you want. Anytime I called him I received a call back from him that day. Not someone else in the office. He is an attorney that has a passion for whats important to his clients.
