Prenuptial Agreements (Prenups)

A prenuptial agreement is a written contract signed before marriage that lays out how property, debt, and financial issues will be handled in the event of divorce or death. In Texas, prenups are enforceable as long as they’re entered voluntarily and meet basic fairness standards. They’re especially valuable in cases involving:

• Business ownership

• Significant premarital assets or debt

• Children from prior relationships

• Inheritance protection

• Disparities in earning power

We draft prenups that are clear, legally sound, and tailored to your unique situation. And if your partner has presented you with an agreement, we can review it and advise you on your rights before you sign.

Postnuptial Agreements (Postnups)

A postnuptial agreement serves the same purpose as a prenup, but it’s signed after you’re already married. It’s useful in situations where one spouse receives an inheritance, the couple acquires substantial new assets, or there’s been a significant shift in financial circumstances. Postnups can also help spouses clarify financial boundaries and reduce future legal uncertainty while staying married.

Separation Agreements

Although Texas does not recognize “legal separation” the way some states do, we help clients draft separation agreements that cover key issues like property use, temporary support, child custody, and financial responsibilities during periods of separation. These agreements provide clarity and structure during uncertain times—and they can serve as a helpful foundation if divorce becomes necessary later.

Whether you’re planning for marriage, navigating a period of distance, or just want financial clarity in your relationship, The Turner Firm provides experienced, thoughtful counsel every step of the way. These agreements aren’t about expecting failure—they’re about building smart foundations and protecting your future.
