What’s Inside

Although prenuptial agreements may not seem like the most romantic aspect of marriage preparation, they can give you peace of mind knowing that you have a secure financial and emotional future. The process of creating a prenuptial agreement helps couples understand their expectations and can strengthen the bond between them.

If you are considering a prenuptial agreement, working with an experienced Denver family attorney is a good idea. Our team at Jones Law Firm, PC can make sure that your agreement is drafted correctly, covers the matters most essential to your situation, and is enforceable in court. 

What is a prenuptial agreement?

A prenuptial agreement, also referred to as a “prenup,” is a contract two spouses enter into before marriage to decide how certain issues will be handled in case of divorce or other events. These agreements are put in place to protect both parties and provide clear instructions as to how the property, debts, and other features of their marriage will be managed if the two parties get divorced. 

Who should get a prenuptial agreement?

Any couple could benefit from a prenuptial agreement because these agreements help couples analyze present circumstances and anticipate and prepare for potential future scenarios. Prenuptial agreements are particularly beneficial for couples who wish to protect assets, reduce conflict, and make rational decisions that could take effect in case of divorce, death, or other emotionally-charged events.

 What issues can a prenuptial agreement cover in Colorado?

Prenuptial agreements can cover a variety of topics, including:

  • How to determine what is marital property
  • Property and asset division in a divorce
  • Whether one spouse will pay the other spouse alimony
  • Details regarding the division of debt
  • Legal rights and obligations regarding the will and insurance policies

Prenups are unique for each marriage. A qualified family law attorney will consider each couple’s situation when crafting an effective agreement.

What is required for a valid Prenuptial Agreement in Colorado?

For a prenuptial agreement to be valid, certain requirements must be met:

  • The agreement must be in writing.
  • Each party must truthfully disclose all property and assets.
  • Parties must voluntarily agree.
  • The agreement must be reasonable and not excessive.
  • The agreement must not violate public policy or any laws.

Unlike other types of contracts, prenuptial agreements do not require the parties to exchange consideration for the agreement to be valid. This means the agreement may appear one-sided, with one party not expecting to receive anything in return.

April and staff were wonderful.

I will be recommending friends, family, and associates to Jones Law.

“When I needed legal assistance I emailed roughly a dozen law firms that came up in a Google search. Jones Law was the only firm that got back to me with a personalized message about my particular situation. When I arrived for my appointment I was greeted by Emily Sturgill to go over my case. Emily was awesome. She walked through my information & was very empathetic to my situation. I later met with David Collins to address my issue. David was great & completely understood what I wanted & gave me a very quick resolution. I will be recommending friends, family, and associates to Jones Law.”

We can now open up another chapter of our lives.

“I went to Jones Law Firm, PC , needing help with my children’s custody case. April took my case, even though it was very short notice before the court date. Immediately April and all her staff members started gathering all the details and information from me to prepare for court. Daily April and/or her staff members were in contact with me for any updates on what was going on. I now have full custody of my two beautiful children. My family and I would like to say “Thank you so much” to everyone at the Jones Law Firm. We can now open up another chapter of our lives.”

In the most difficult time of my life, April Jones was there for our family.

Not only did she do a FANTASTIC professional job, she was caring, understanding and most concerned in a manner that left me knowing and feeling I was safe!

“Having had the pleasure and experience of having Ms. April Jones of Jones Law Firm, PC represent me in my recent divorce, I must say how truly BLESSED I was. Not only did she do a FANTASTIC professional job, she was caring, understanding and most concerned in a manner that left me knowing and feeling I was safe! In the aftermath (or dare I say ‘afterglow’!) of such an emotional separation departure, I graciously and honestly can suggest and recommend Jones Law Firm, PC !”

Ms. Jones’ best quality as an attorney is her ability to take charge.

“Ms. Jones was my attorney in 2002. She is sharp, quick and strong and we won my case decisively. I am currently having Ms. Jones represent me again on another issue in 2010-2011. Based on my observation, Ms. Jones is sharper and stronger and has attained greater knowledge and insight. I have noticed that Ms. Jones desires to win each case with integrity. She cares about her client’s welfare at all times. Ms. Jones’ best quality as an attorney is her ability to take charge. I have recommended Ms. Jones to my friends and co-workers.”

April settled my case literally out in the courthouse hallway.

“April settled my case literally out in the courthouse hallway.I had a landlord that failed to make promised repairs to my apartment. I was paying for a two bedroom,two bathroom place but only one bathroom worked. He said he would repair it when I moved in but 7 months went by and he was still making excuses. He lived in hawaii, the apartment was in california and he used that as his excuse. I decided to stop paying him until he fixed the bathroom I had BEEN paying for. After 3 months of that he arrived at my apartment and decided to take me to court rather than fix the bathroom and collect back rent which I had been holding onto. April negotiated a deal before we went into court for an immediate cash payment for 1 month and I could take a week to move out. My landlord accepted and a possible unlawful detainer ruling was avoided. I was able to use the 2 months rent I still had to find another apartment which would have been much harder to do with a unlawful detainer on my record.”
