Postnuptial Agreements in West University
Accounting For Changes in Your Marriage
When you enter into marriage, there are many topics you might not consider, such as the division of assets if the marriage ends. Throughout your marriage, you and your spouse will acquire assets, property, and possibly have children. If you decide to separate, these changes will need to be addressed. However, you can plan for the future and protect your assets with a well-crafted postnuptial agreement.
Since Texas is a community property state, dividing property after a separation can be challenging without a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement. To avoid these difficulties, our West University, TX, family law attorneys at The Law Office of Bryan Fagan, PLLC often recommend drafting a postnuptial agreement after marriage.

What is the Purpose of a Postnuptial Agreement?
A prenuptial agreement is created before marriage to outline the division of assets obtained before marriage. In contrast, a postnuptial agreement is established during marriage and accounts for significant changes such as:
- Having children
- Changing careers
- New financial circumstances
- Changes in employment status
It’s Not About Trust
At The Law Office of Bryan Fagan, PLLC, we understand the stigma surrounding prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. Many people mistakenly believe these documents imply a lack of trust between spouses. This is not true. These agreements do not signal that your marriage is in trouble or likely to end. Instead, they provide a clear legal framework for dividing marital property.
