Protecting Your Future With Prenuptial And Postnuptial Agreements In Mobile
Making the decision to marry or working to strengthen your marriage involves many important conversations. As your family law attorney in Mobile, I help couples have constructive discussions about their financial future through prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. These legal documents can provide clarity and protection for both spouses, helping to build a foundation of trust and understanding.
I am attorney Richard E. Mather of Richard E. Mather, Attorney at Law, and with over 25 years of experience serving Alabama families, I guide couples through creating agreements that protect their interests while fostering open communication about finances, property and shared goals for the future.
What Are Prenuptial And Postnuptial Agreements?
A prenuptial agreement is created before marriage, while a postnuptial agreement is established after the wedding. Both documents outline how assets and debts will be handled during marriage and in case of divorce. These agreements can address inheritance rights, business ownership, property division and other financial matters important to both spouses.
Why Consider A Marital Agreement?
Every couple’s situation is unique, and there are many valid reasons to consider a marital agreement. These documents can provide essential protection and clarity for your financial future, particularly in the following situations:
- Own a business or professional practice
- Have children from previous relationships
- Possess significant assets or inheritance
- Want clarity about financial responsibilities during marriage
- Seek to protect family property or heirlooms
Creating clear agreements about these matters helps prevent future conflicts and protects both partners’ interests.
The Importance Of Legal Representation
Creating a valid marital agreement requires careful attention to Alabama law. Without proper legal guidance, these documents may be unenforceable when needed most. As your lawyer, I work to craft an agreement that meets legal requirements while addressing your specific concerns and goals.
Working Together For Your Future

My experience with Alabama family law helps me anticipate potential issues and create comprehensive agreements that hold up under legal scrutiny.
