Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Re: Separate Property issues associated with a Prenuptial

Generally, this is a matter of personal choice and agreement. It would be necessary for both of you to sit down with a lawyer and explore different approaches. Part of the approach can be a time function - the longer you are together, the larger your interest in the property. However, there are numerous other approaches and only an examination of your mutual concerns in a "give and take" session could result in an agreement with which both of you can be satisfied. If you take a look at the "Business Contracts" section of our web site (VeneziaLawFirm.com), you will get a general idea of the process and you should view this agreement as "business" even though it is in the context of a personal relationship.

Re: Separate Property issues associated with a Prenuptial

Until you are married, absent an agreement or a representation that you have some interest in the property, you have no interest in the property. A pre-nuptial agreement will only control your interest in the event you marry.

If you still have to pay rent after the marriage then I might have second thoughts. There are many ways to protect any rights you should have in that asset. you can call me at 516 466 LAWS for a free telephone consultation

Re: Separate Property issues associated with a Prenuptial

Since you are not yet married the only advice one can offer is to get competant counsel and negotiate a business arrangement ie. a contract spelling out all of your mutually agreed upon intentions . You may call my office @718-834-0087 for more info.
