Marital Separation & Prenuptial Agreements

Maryland Divorce and Prenuptial Agreement Attorney

At the Law Office of Regina A. DeMeo in Bethesda, Maryland, I believe in couples being proactive in preparing for marriage separation, divorce, and asset distribution. In addition, a divorcing couple, whenever possible, should attempt to be cooperative with each other in finalizing the details. These methods promote a clearer understanding of the issues and facilitate positive relationships in the future.

Separation Agreements

The best judge of what transpired during your marriage and how best to dissolve the union is you and your spouse. Your insight and point of view is vital to determining the best way to end your marriage. Only you and your spouse truly know what took place throughout the course of the marriage. A judge assuming control of the decisions makes little, if any sense.

Preparing a separation agreement with the help of a qualified lawyer gives you control over the decisions made. You can address all the issues, rights, and obligations related to child support, custody and visitation, alimony, and division of property and debt. Once these matters are resolved, you and your spouse can move on to file and uncontested divorce. At the Law Office of Regina A. DeMeo, 95% of my divorce cases are successfully resolved outside of court.

Prenuptial Agreements

A prenuptial agreement is a pragmatic step to take in the event of the dissolution of the marriage. No couple wants to prepare for the worst as they prepare for their wedding. However, this is a necessary step if there is a significant disparity in income, assets, and age. My job is to advocate for my client's best interests.

Prenuptial agreements include clear definitions of what property will be separate and what property will be marital.  The agreements also address the division of property and alimony in the event of separation and/or divorce.  Typically, there is a waiver of alimony in the event of divorce.  As a divorce lawyer, I have extensive experience in drafting and reviewing prenups with great attention to detail.

My clients receive individualized service and I ensure that they accomplish the goals they've established. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please contact me.
