Lay Out the Terms of Your Divorce

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.

Why Establish a Marital Settlement Agreement?

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.

Protect Your Assets with a Marital Agreement

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

Our experienced Folsom marital agreement attorneys understand the complexities of family law and can help you draft a comprehensive agreement that meets your unique needs. Contact the Law Office of Tiffany L. Andrews, P.C. today to schedule a consultation and protect your future.

  • “Tiffany was there for me, even AFTER my case was filed.”
    Long Story short, My particular case started off as a Divorce & Child Custody case; but soon after Divorce papers were filed; I (a male) became a Victim of a brutal Domestic Violence from my Ex. Tiffany took care of all the necessary documents needed to finalize my Divorce & Child Custody case while I was hospitalized with multiple stab wounds & internal injuries. Tiffany helped & filed documents so that my children wouldn't be taken as wards of the state; & gave temporary custody to a familial relative while I recovered from my injuries. Not once did she leave my side as an attorney while I was in the hospital recovering from what my Ex-wife did... If I could recommend a Family Attorney to anyone in Northern California... I would recommend Tiffany Andrews; there is no doubt about this in my mind.

  • “International Service of Process and Divorce Guidance”
    Tiffany was very fast to respond, she was direct and very very knowledgeable. She took the time to quickly understand my situation and also advise on the correct process surrounding serving documents overseas. I was very satisfied with her level of prompt and above and beyond guidance. Thank you.

  • “Great Attorney!”
    Thus far I am impressed with Tiffany L. Andrews. I found Tiffany on this very site while on a time crunch. Great reviews gave me hope. The start of my case occurred on a Wednesday night, Thursday night I was informed I needed legal counsel. I searched the web for hours until I came across Tiffany. The morning of Friday I called the office to schedule a phone consultation and informed them I needed a lawyer ASAP. Monday morning Tiffany showed up in court to represent me and I felt a sense of ease. I appreciate that Tiffany is very accessible. If I have a question she responds within a timely manner. She is very knowledgeable and goes the extra mile to protect your privacy and rights. I hope the rest of my child dependency case is smooth sailing from here on out. Thank You, Tiffany, for your help. Greatly appreciated!

  • “Protected My Interests”
    Tiffany has been dealing with my divorce for going on 3 years. Just wrapped up last week. Unfortunately, that's how long my divorce took. But she stuck by and fought for me even though the divorce laws are skewed to basically screw me. In the end, we were able to get a final judgment that I was comfortable with. She was always reachable and responded timely. All in all, she is a great lawyer who will do what's in your best interest.

  • “Very Knowledgeable Attorney”
    I'm the father in the middle of a dependency juvenile hearing. Tiffany Andrews is an upfront, honest and sincere attorney with knowledge in this area that surpasses any other attorney I've consulted with. She was able to educate me and inform me of the different directions my case could go. She gives great advice, something that not all attorneys give, and gives me the facts of what she sees, not sugar coating it. If you're looking for a caring and dedicated family law attorney, I highly recommend Tiffany Andrews.
