Follow on Google News | The "Age of Entitlement" is to Blame for the Substantial Cost of Pre and Post-Nuptial AgreementsIn his bimonthly column, Mark B. Baer, Esq. states that the fact that we are living in the “Age of Entitlement” creates a great deal of risk to any attorney involved in pre & post-nuptial agreements.
By: Mark B. Baer, Esq. "Unfortunately, approximately 50% of marriages end in divorce today, at which time the spouse who would be better off financially without the prenuptial or post-marital agreement will frequently challenge the enforceability of the agreement," says Baer. "This reality creates a great deal of risk to any attorney involved in drafting and negotiating prenuptial or post-marital agreements." A family law attorney in Houston, Texas comments, "Your article is right on. We have been drafting premarital agreements for about 30 years. It is truly a niche specialty. We even use declaratory judgments to confirm validity of the agreements before marriage or before funding in case of a marital agreement." A family law attorney in San Diego, California writes, "Very thoughtful insights." A family law attorney in New Jersey adds, "I will turn away a client if he or she only wants me to 'sign off' on a prenuptial agreement that someone else has prepared, without making any substantive suggestions."
