• Marriages are not fairytales that you live
  happily ever after. Of course, when people marry
  they imagine it to be a lifetime affair but the
  truth sneaks in andyou dont believe you are
  sitting with one of the family lawyers in Largo,
  MD, discussing your divorce.

The hard truth

• According to a survey, about 20 per cent of
  marriages end in 5 years, while about 30 per cent
  of marriages end within a decade.
• Couples who live for decades together and
  celebrate their golden wedding anniversary are
  like endangered species, found rarely and in the
  brink of extinction.

Importance of prenuptial agreement

• The increasing rates of divorce teach us to be
  careful and wise before tying the knot. According
  to lawyers, prenuptial agreements can save a
  great deal of trouble in case your marriage falls
  apart. The agreement is actually a set of rules
  that come into play in case of divorce or a
  spouses death. Hiring good family lawyers in
  Largo, MD, can help you create an appropriate
  agreement before marriage.

• In the absence of prenuptial agreement, the court
  divides assets of the divorcing parties as per
  the principle of equitable distribution.
  According to it, both parties attain a share of
  marital property based on his and her
  contributions to the marriage, plus their
  financial status and personal needs.
• It is not wrong to say that prenuptial agreement
  serves as an insurance policy for couples. You
  hope you never have to use it but in case you
  do, it is a lifesaver.

What comes under the agreement?

• A good Prince George's County family lawyer helps
  you know what can and cannot be included in the
  agreement. Usually, issues related to assets and
  finances are included. The agreement also states
  the manner a couple can spend the money after
  marriage. It can also state whether the couple
  will create a joint account after marriage or has
  to pay for the others education.

• Many marriages come to a bitter end due to
  unresolved issues related to money and property.
  Their divorce also becomes a battle in court. If
  only the couple had created a prenuptial
  agreement in the presence of a family lawyer,
  they could have avoided a messy situation.
• If things are not working between couples, it is
  good to separate but it is better to say goodbye
  cordially than drag family matters in court.

• Most of the times, lawyers, too, endeavor for
  out-of-court settlements. However, when things go
  out of hand you need to knock the courtroom door.
  
• In such a situation, you need competent lawyers
  who can defend you powerfully in court. If
  injustice has been done to you by your spouse,
  you need an experienced lawyer who knows how to
  take forward your case in an aggressive manner in
  court.

  support to their clients.
