Cited to the statute · Legal information, not legal advice
A marital agreement is tested on the day it finally matters.
Texas prenups and postnups under Family Code Chapter 4: what they can cover, how they fail, and how to build one right.
ABOUT THIS BOOK
A Texas marital agreement is not tested on the day you sign it. It is tested on the day it matters. If a court sets it aside, the property it covered falls back under the just and right division, and a judge decides what the two of you meant to decide yourselves.
Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements in Texas explains Family Code Chapter 4 for both people: the one who raises the subject and the one handed the draft. The same facts that make an agreement durable make it fair.
This book is not a form and does not draft or review agreements. It explains the law and tells you when to bring in a licensed Texas family law attorney, and what to bring with you.
WHAT’S INSIDE
- The three agreements Texas recognizes: premarital, partition and exchange, and conversion to community property
- The test a court applies when someone tries to set an agreement aside
- What a premarital agreement may cover, and the one line it can never cross
- Postnuptial tools for separate property and the income it produces
- Building it right: timing, independent counsel and financial disclosure
- If it is contested: filing, discovery, mediation and the final decree
