Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can provide greater clarity about financial rights and responsibilities and help address important financial issues before a future dispute arises.
Renee represents individuals in the preparation, review and negotiation of prenuptial and postnuptial agreements.
These agreements may be particularly important for:
- Business owners and professionals
- Individuals entering marriage with significant assets
- People with children from a prior relationship
- Individuals expecting an inheritance
- Couples who want greater certainty about their financial rights and responsibilities
For business owners and professionals, an agreement can also help address how a business or professional practice, its value, income and other financial interests will be treated if the marriage ends.
The goal is to identify important financial issues, understand their potential implications and create an agreement tailored to the individual’s circumstances.
Post-Divorce Modifications
A divorce judgment resolves the issues that exist at the time of the divorce, but circumstances can change.
Renee represents clients in select post-divorce matters involving requests to modify or address:
- Maintenance
- Child support
- Legal custody
- Physical placement
Whether an existing order can or should be modified depends upon the circumstances and the particular issue involved. Renee helps clients understand their options and determine an appropriate approach based on what has changed since the original order was entered.
Paternity & Post-Paternity Matters
Beacon Family Law also provides representation in select paternity and post-paternity matters involving children.
These cases may involve legal custody, physical placement and child support, as well as requests to modify an existing order when circumstances have changed.
Because Renee accepts paternity matters selectively, prospective clients are encouraged to contact Beacon Family Law to determine whether the firm may be able to assist with their particular situation.
Experienced Wisconsin Family Law Representation
Family law issues can have significant financial and personal consequences even when they do not involve an initial divorce.
Renee provides experienced, direct and individualized guidance based on the circumstances of each client and the issues that need to be addressed.
