Prenuptial agreements attorney in Macomb County

Why consider a prenuptial agreement?

Many couples find that discussing a premarital contract actually strengthens their relationship by encouraging transparency and alignment. As a Michigan family law attorney, I provide the accurate information and objective guidance you need to decide if an agreement is right for your unique situation.

At the Law Offices of Julie A. Hlywa, we help you draft a document that is fair, legally sound, and designed to protect the interests of both parties. Our prenuptial agreements are drafted in accordance with Michigan's Uniform Premarital Agreement Act, serving couples in Sterling Heights, Warren, Clinton Township, Shelby Township, and throughout Macomb County.

For a prenuptial agreement to be enforceable in a Michigan court, specific legal criteria must be met. We ensure your contract adheres to these standards to avoid it being voided later:

• Full financial disclosure: Both parties must provide a complete and honest accounting of all assets, debts, and income.
• Voluntary signing: The agreement must be entered into freely, without evidence of duress or coercion.
• Fairness at execution: The terms must not be unconscionable or extremely one-sided at the time the agreement is signed.
• Independent counsel: It is highly recommended that each party is represented by their own attorney to ensure their individual rights are fully understood.
