The Prenuptial Agreement: What Is It?

Almost anyone has heard about a prenuptial agreement, probably from movies. But what are they and how do they protect your rights? A prenuptial agreement is there to protect your rights in case of a divorce or if your spouse passes away. The contract is signed by both you and your spouse before the marriage and clearly states what happens with your assets, amongother things.

The Postnuptial Agreement: What Is It?

Is a prenuptial the same as a postnuptial? The good news is that it is. So, if you've read the definition of a prenuptial agreement above, you know what a postnuptial contract is. Of course, there is a difference. The postnup is signed after the marriage. However, the two contracts have a similar form.

Can a Grandparent Get Custody?

Yes, a grandparent can get custody. Even aunts, uncles and close family friends can get custody of a child in some cases. However, things are very complicated and can get even more complicated during some hearings. To make sure you are prepared, you should retain the services of some excellent family attorneys in NJ.

Can the Father Get Custody?

Courts don't favor one parent or the other. The main thing the court is interested in is the best interest of the child. The judges will make a decision based on what's best for the child. The parent's sex is not an important factor in their decision. So yes, the father can get custody.

Can You Please Explain Time-Sharing to Me?

Of course we can. It's easy. The time-sharing plan is a schedule you present to the court where you and your spouse agree to split the complex job of raising the child. You will also agree with your spouse how much time the child spends with each parent.
