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. We fight to protect your rights and your best interests while ensuring that the process is as smooth and stress-free as possible.

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

  • “Dedicated and Professional”
    Ms.Andrews represented My husband and I for a very emotional child custody case in early 2010. She was professional, prepared and most importantly fought for our side to be heard by all parties involved. 
    We are thankful for all the hard work that she put into our case that lead to a positive ending for our case. We would recommend Ms. Andrews for any legal issues that you may have in family court.

  • “This Office is Great!”
    I met with Brenda and Karen and both were very professional and gave excellent customer service. They were clear, concise and answered all of my questions. I came out of that office feeling like I was on the right footing and knew I had a powerful group behind me if I need it. I would recommend everybody!

  • “Family Called by CPS”
    Was called by CPS for the first time. We were scared, didn't know what to do or say. Didn't have any idea how to handle an unfortunate situation like this. Just because of a false accusation, our lives changed! Called a friend and referred me to Tiffany who's an expert in this kind of situations. Tiffany was there to answer all our questions, gave us advice and cleared our minds. She explained the situation in a manner that we will understand and assured us that everything will be fine. Those were the words that we needed to hear. We followed her advice and Thank God everything went well. Thank you, Tiffany!

  • “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.

  • “Tiffany Gave Me a Voice!”
    I hired Tiffany to help me in a custody dispute with my ex regarding my young son. During the entirety of my previous relationship and even after separation my ex had intimidated me and dominated any decision made regarding my son. He bullied me and used his financial advantage to make me feel that I didn't stand a chance against him when he filed to take majority custody of our son. I went into the custody dispute feeling weak but as a mother, I would go to any length, at any cost to fight for my son. Tiffany and her staff gave me so much confidence and ensured me that they would be my voice and help me fight for my rights as a mother and that is exactly what she did. Tiffany was extremely thorough, knowledgeable, compassionate, and honest. She did her job and she did it well. Tiffany was very aggressive while staying very professional in front of the judge. I walked out of the courtroom feeling empowered and protected. My family cannot ever thank her and her staff enough. I would recommend her to anyone that finds themselves in a family dispute. She will give you the justice you and your family deserve.

  • “Strongly Recommend! Goes above & beyond to help in the most difficult time!”
    I was referred to Tiffany Andrews by another attorney who was dismissed from my case due to a conflict of interest, I was not confident in handling the case on my own. I contacted her office for advice on possibly representing myself. I first spoke to her staff, Sara & she already knew about my situation so she scheduled me with Andrews. I met with Andrews for a consultation and was 100% certain that I wanted her to represent me after our visit. I noticed that she was very knowledgeable and was already informed about my case from the previous attorney, So immediately I signed & started a retainer. She immediately got started, then she gave me our game plan & was very informative on anything that I had to do to make things run smoothly, I was very impressed with how fast her & her staff took action. She has brought up other suggestions that are in the best interest of my case. I feel that Tiffany Andrews & her staff (Sara) go above & beyond & are very compassionate about my case & the safety of my children. I 100% recommend Tiffany Andrews & her amazing team to anyone who is dealing with Custody or Restraining Order!
