Questions people ask

Can I write my own prenup without a lawyer?

The short answer

A prenuptial agreement written without counsel may be challenged on grounds that include disclosure and independent representation, which is why attorneys are usually involved on both sides. Whether a specific agreement holds is a legal question for a family-law attorney.

The longer answer

We store documents. We do not draft them, review them or advise on them, and we will say so plainly rather than let a conversation about storage drift into legal advice. If you are asking this question, ask a family-law attorney in your state.
