Why Do You Need a Prenuptial or Postnuptial Agreement in North Carolina?
Prenuptial and post-nuptial agreements outline any range of rights and obligations that can arise from a marriage between two people, with the exception of child support or child custody.
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can address the following issues:
- Separate property
- Marital property
- Property division
- Spousal support
- Life insurance
- Wills
- Debt repayment
Under the Uniform Prenuptial Agreement Act (UPAA) in North Carolina, any agreement must be made in writing and signed by both spouses. These agreements can be amended in the future should any situation change. In some instances, such as whether both parties voluntarily signed the agreement or when one person did not disclose their financial obligations, a premarital and post-marital agreement may not be enforceable. Working with a seasoned family lawyer can ensure an agreement is in good faith and reflects your best interests during a marriage.

To be legal and enforceable, any prenuptial or postnuptial agreement must abide by the standards outlined in the law. The Jacksonville prenuptial and postnuptial agreement lawyer at The Trevor J. Avery Law Firm understands the nuances of the law as they relate to these agreements. We have the skill and experience necessary to protect your interests against the various circumstances that life presents.

Mr Avery and his team are great, I needed some help with a criminal matter and was looking around to find an attorney that would be absolutely truthful regarding my case and someone that wouldn’t just want to take my money. I’ve had bad experiences in the past, but Mr. Avery was on top of it and very insightful, he kept me informed on the process every step of the way. He was very knowledgeable. I felt like I was in great hands and never had to stress. Thank you Trevor and the team!- Lily G.

Very upfront honest lawyer. Tough to find that integrity now a days in a attorney. He couldn't do everything and said so upfront gave a price and even offered a deposit of much less. Referred another attorney that could do everything. For that, I give five stars. Some might think it's much but time is money and appreciate yours and your honesty. (He doesn't get paid for consultation many charge for that) Thank you. Staff was super nice. She called me immediately when I left a email. He got back exactly when he said he would and discussed options.- Christina B.
