Question:
I would like to know about the prenuptial agreement process and it’s general possible terms. I have had bad experience in the past marrying without it and getting ripped off. So now when I get married I want to have an agreement and reserve my assets and income as non-marital. I am new to all this as no one in my family has done this. Any articles to refer to will be appreciated. And my faith does not allow living relationship so I am not certain of how the money habits of the future spouse will be. I am not a gold digger. Have no interest in spouse’s income to be mine as I have my own. But in the past my ex used to make my account balance negative and use all my income. And later after marriage everybody said it is his money too whereas he never earned a penny and was just killing time with his mistresses.

Answer:
You should consult with an experienced Albany Divorce Attorney. An attorney can discuss your specific circumstances, and help you preserve and protect your separate property–which includes anything you “gained” in your prior divorce.
In preparing prenuptial agreements, as an Albany Divorce Attorney I often advocate for the completion of full Net Worth Statements by both parties, and attach those Statements as exhibits to the Agreement, so that there are no subsequent disputes about incomes, and the assets and liabilities disclosed.
