Prenuptial Agreement

A prenuptial agreement is a written contract that a couple can enter into before a marriage to control many of their legal rights upon marriage and in the event of a separation. It is designed to be a two-way contract that protects both parties’ assets and responsibility of debt. Prenuptial agreements are not just for the wealthy, as they are very practical for couples who want to agree to a particular arrangement regarding their assets (i.e. avoiding the default state laws that will apply to them as a married couple). There are a lot of considerations to think about when entering into a prenuptial agreement, and our skilled attorneys are here to ensure you are thinking about all the angles and your rights. It is important that you speak with an attorney when entering into a prenuptial agreement. Make sure you are talking to the attorney well in advance of the wedding date.

Surrogacy

Surrogacy is an agreement where a surrogate (gestational carrier) agrees to have a child on behalf of the intended parents. Through surrogacy, you can establish your parental rights to your child regardless of whether you are single, married, genetically related, or using a donor. Navigate family law attorneys can assist you to create an enforceable surrogacy contract between the intended parents and gestational carrier.

Adoption

Adoption is a wonderful option for people looking to start a family or make their current family official from a legal perspective. Family is what you make it. There are a number of different kinds of adoptions, such as step-parent adoptions, international or domestic adoptions, public or private adoptions, foster care adoptions, or second parent adoptions. This process also sometimes involves the termination of biological parents’ rights. Navigate family law attorneys have helped countless parents legally adopt their children and make their family whole. They would be happy to help you through the process as well.
