Prenuptial Agreements Legal Answers

Will a prenup protect property in another country?

My fiancé and I are both from Poland and I own a significant amount of property there, some of it in my own name and some of it with my family. My family is very concerned that if my marriage does not work out, my wife will be entitled to a portion of both my property and the family properties. They want me to obtain a prenuptial agreement to ensure the properties are protected in the event of divorce. Will a prenup executed in the U.S. protect my properties in Poland? Would the agreement need to be enforceable in Poland? I also need to find a Polish lawyer who can help me with these issues.

Can we use a prenup to address marital responsibilities?

My fiancé and I are getting married and I am considering asking for a prenup. I was married once before and after marriage, my spouse did not fulfill any of the promises she made to me before the marriage about how we would maintain our house, the raising of any children, how bills would be paid, etc. I don’t want that to happen again and I want it to be clear before we marry what I will be responsible for and what she will be responsible for during our marriage. I know a prenup generally protects things if the spouses divorce, but can it be used to define marital responsibilities throughout the marriage?

Can I hire a lawyer to review a prenuptial for my fiancé?

I am getting married in a few months and I want a prenuptial agreement to protect the business I have owned since I got out of college. My fiancé has agreed to sign such an agreement but does not have the money on her own to pay for a lawyer. I have read that it is best for the intended spouse to have a lawyer review the agreement before they sign it. I’ve drafted the agreement and now I want to hire a Polish lawyer to review it for my fiancé, whose first language is Polish. I live in Houston, does Texas law permit me to hire and pay for a lawyer for her? If the marriage were to not work out, I don’t want her coming back later to say that the lawyer wasn’t looking out for her best interests because I paid the lawyer.
