Why Hire a Prenup Lawyer

Often time prospective spouses ask themselves: Why hire a prenuptial lawyer? After all, “form” prenuptial agreements may be obtained from the internet or elsewhere. Although the upfront costs of a “do it yourself” prenuptial agreement may be relatively low, there is tremendous risk that certain provisions, or just as importantly, lack of certain procedures, render the prenuptial agreement void. Thus, although the parties may have a specific goal when drafting their prenup, without hiring a prenuptial lawyer to properly draft your agreement, courts may hold the entire agreement unenforceable. In addition, the costs of litigating the enforceability of a prenup – or the effect of the agreement being unenforceable – may be dozens (or hundreds) of times more costly than hiring a prenuptial lawyer.

Couples may also become hesitant to hire a prenuptial lawyer because concerns of excessive hourly billing and increased costs.
