Premarital & Postmarital Agreements in San Antonio Texas Divorce Cases

Today, more than ever, property agreements are a critical part of our family law landscape. There are multiple types of property agreements in Texas family law. The Agreement Incident to Divorce is a type of agreement that is usually obtained, as the name states, "incident" to divorce. The agreement may outline all the issues that must be resolved by a divorce order, and may simplify a case immensly.

Of course, a premarital agreement can greatly simplify a case, by anticipating the possible issues that may arise and resolving them prior to the emergence of divorce proceedings. Not only can a premarital agreement resolve the issues outlined in the agreement, but in most cases the existence of an agreement will result in simplifying many of the issues not even covered by the actual terms of the agreement. This is probably due to the fact that for each unresolved issue there are multiple possible outcomes, and each of these possible outcomes create the possibility of other issues with unknown outcomes. You probably see where this is going. The fewer issues implicated in a case the fewer potential problems there are that must be resolved.

At virtually every step of a family law case there is a type of agreement that is appropriate. Of course, an agreement is only as good as its terms. It is probably better not to have an agreement than to have an agreement that is unfavorable to you. It is critical to have the advice of counsel before entering into any agreement.
