Comprehensive Divorce Agreements in Folsom

Even after a divorce, you and your partner will remain in each other’s lives and retain certain obligations regarding the former relationship – especially if you had children or significant amounts of property together. A marital settlement agreement lays out the terms of the divorce once it is finalized.

The provisions within these agreements may cover:

  • Child custody
  • Child visitation
  • Property and debt division
  • Confirmation of separate property
  • Spousal support
  • Attorney fees and costs

Our Folsom marital agreement attorneys at the Law Office of Tiffany L. Andrews, P.C. can help you work through the process to create and implement a comprehensive marital settlement agreement.

Benefits of a Marital Settlement Agreement in Folsom

Having a marital settlement agreement is not a prerequisite to obtaining a judgment for divorce.

However, it may be beneficial because a marital settlement agreement can:

  • Lay out all of the agreements in writing while limiting ambiguity if properly drafted by an attorney
  • Prevent you from going to court if you reach a full agreement on all issues in the divorce
  • Speed up the process so that you can avoid a long, drawn out, or costly trial

Marital settlement agreements can be formed at any time before the final judgment. They are generally incorporated as part of the final judgment.

Keep in mind that if a spouse has an open Department of Child Support case with the County, the Department of Child Support may have to approve the portion of your judgment as it relates to child support. We can keep a keen eye on the child support portion of your agreement to ensure that it is fair and suitable for both you and your child. This can improve your chances of approval from the Department of Child Support.

Asset Protection Through Marital Agreements in Folsom

A marital agreement, also known as a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement, can provide peace of mind and protect your assets in the event of a divorce. By clearly outlining the division of property, finances, and other important matters, you can avoid lengthy and costly legal battles.

Benefits of establishing a marital agreement include:

  • Preserving your separate property
  • Clarifying financial responsibilities and obligations
  • Protecting business interests
  • Minimizing potential conflicts during a divorce
  • Providing a clear roadmap for asset division

  • “Very Helpful and Knowledgeable”
    Tiffany gave me practical advice concerning a child welfare case in Solana County, CA. She understands California dependency law and was available to answer my question on short notice. I highly recommend her.

  • “Divorce & Separation Advice Session”
    She was great, put my mind at ease. I had a few short questions, not enough to warrant a face-to-face with a lawyer at a high price and she took care of them. Precise, knowledgable and friendly too.

  • “Tiffany cares about her clients and fights for their rights.”
    Tiffany worked on my foster/adoption case - that was long, difficult, and drawn out. She researches every angle, is intuitive, intelligent and fights for her clients' to get the best possible outcome. Also, she genuinely cares about her clients best interests and provides guidance and counsel throughout the process.

  • “Hard Working”
    Ms. Andrews did a lot of research on issues she was not clear so that she would be able to provide accurate information and advice. She worked diligently on my case, while my ex's attorney was playing "legal games" - by sending letters with false claims to rack up his fees - while pretending to work on the case. Unfortunately my divorce was very complicated; however, in the end, Ms. Andrews managed to win over my ex - so he fired his attorney and we had Mr. Andrews finish the final paperwork for the both of us. In the end, Ms. Andrews saved both me and my ex, additional grief, frustration and money.
