Prenuptial Agreement

While it may not be pleasant to think about the possibility of a divorce, it is important to plan for that possibility, especially if you have children or significant assets. A prenuptial agreement can protect your interests and provide a plan for property distribution in the event of a divorce. Our attorneys have the sensitivity and ability to prepare prenuptial agreements that will protect you and any children. Our lawyers and staff have decades of experience preparing prenuptial agreements for clients across the state. We also help clients draft post-marital agreements.

Common Law Marriage

In Rhode Island, there are no time limits for a common law marriage. To be considered married under common law, a couple must hold themselves out to be a married couple. However, the breaking up of a common law marriage may cause many complicated issues to surface. Our firm can explain to you how issues such as property settlement and division are handled and the legal ramifications that the ending of the relationship may have.

Cohabitation Agreements

Our firm assists individuals in establishing cohabitation agreements for unmarried heterosexual couples, domestic partners, and same sex couples. We can assess your situation and determine the best way in which to protect your individual assets and property. Cohabitation agreements can also be established for individuals in a common law marriage.
