An Experienced Missouri Attorney Helping You Establish a Premarital Agreement
The term "prenuptial agreement", also called a "prenup contract", has taken on an undeserved negative connotation in today's society. It is not a precursor to divorce. Establishing a prenuptial agreement does not mean those entering a marriage intend to see it come to an end. A prenuptial agreement is simply a legal document that protects both spouses and their premarital property in the unfortunate event of divorce.
St. Louis, Missouri, family law attorney Gordon K. Rea understands the sensitive matters often associated with creating a prenuptial agreement. He will work directly with you to discuss your options, calm your fears and help you establish an agreement that protects the interests of both spouses.

What Can a Prenuptial Agreement Do?
Having a prenuptial agreement in place can protect assets, simplify the divorce process and reduce costs for both parties in the event either party seeks to dissolve their marriage.
Who Needs a Prenuptial Agreement?

- There is a significant difference of income or accumulated wealth between parties
