Prenuptial Agreement Lawyers in Manassas
Comprehensive Prenup Planning in Manassas
While no couple enters into a marriage expecting it to end, it is always a good idea to ensure your future is protected in the event of divorce. Having a prenuptial agreement, or "prenup," in place is an effective backup plan.
These types of agreements determine certain responsibilities and rights of both spouses during the marriage. They can also outline how property is to be divided should either spouse leave the marriage.

As a result, we have an extensive track record of success, and we know how to draft a comprehensive, bulletproof prenuptial agreement. We can work with you to create a personalized agreement that takes into account all of your best interests.

What Does a Prenup Cover in Virginia?
In Virginia, a prenuptial agreement may include the following:
- Spousal support
- Obligations and rights related to the property
- The creation of a trust, will, or other arrangements to execute the agreement terms
- The right to dispose of, manage, encumber, sell, mortgage, buy, create a security interest in, transfer, use, assign, exchange, expend, consume, abandon, lease, and control property
- Any other matter (including personal obligations and rights) that does not violate public policy or a criminal statute
Is a Prenup Right for You? Understanding the Benefits
When most people think of prenups, they think of the rich and famous. However, you do not have to be wealthy to reap the benefits of a prenup.
Consider a prenuptial agreement if you:
- Have children from a previous marriage
- Expect a large inheritance
- Have family heirlooms in your possession
- Own a business
- Plan to be a stay-at-home parent or support your partner's career
- Earn or expect to earn a higher income than your fiancé(e)
- Are entering the marriage with valuable property and assets
- Your spouse has significant debt, such as student loan debt
Can You Get a Prenup Online?
Yes, you can obtain a prenuptial agreement online through various platforms. However, while these services might appear convenient and cost-effective, they may not offer the comprehensive protection that an experienced attorney can provide.
Prenuptial agreements are highly personalized contracts, often requiring unique information that online resources may fail to fully capture. A seasoned prenuptial agreement attorney can better help navigate the complexities of marital laws and ensure that your interests are thoroughly protected. Therefore, we strongly recommend consulting with an attorney backed by years of experience in family law at Sandground, West, Silek, Raminpour & Wright, PLC to ensure that your prenuptial agreement is legally sound and tailored to your specific needs.
Are Prenups Public Record?
No, prenuptial agreements in Virginia are not public records. They are private contracts between two individuals who are entering into a marriage. Prenuptial agreements require both parties to fully disclose all assets and debts, but this information is not filed with any local, state, or federal database and thus remains confidential. Despite their private nature, these contracts are enforceable without consideration under Virginia law.
The only time a prenup may become public record is in specific circumstances, such as a situation when a prenup is contested in a court proceeding.
