Family law matters are extremely sensitive that's why the attorneys at Ovando Bowen LLP are invested in every case they handle. 

​

The attorneys at Ovando Bowen LLP recommend that before contemplating marriage ensure that you have a proper prenuptial agreement (prenup) in place. In order to ensure that the prenup is valid both partners must be represented by their own counsel. Further, you and your partner must make full financial disclosures to each other, which need to be done alongside the prenup agreement itself and you must wait 7 days before signing the contract.

​​

If you already married and you need to divide the assets due to creditor issues or other concerns, you can create a postnuptial agreement. Again, both parties should be represented by an attorney. 

​

Or let's say you have no need to get married but want to protect yourself, this is where co-habitation agreements come into play. As two consenting adults you can decide what will happen to all the assets and property you buy together including homes, financial obligations etc. in the event you split up- very similar to marital agreements. 

​

Once married the attorneys at Ovando Bowen LLP can assist with obtaining a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, which will allow you to move your retirement money around between the two of you to take better investment advantages, whether it be holding it in an IRA, using it for real estate investment or Medicaid planning.
