Premarital Agreement
Louisiana’s default matrimonial regime is the legal regime of community of acquets and gains – or, as it is more commonly known, a community property regime. In other words, if there is no marriage contract, you are governed by the community property rules. The community property regime can present a number of unintended and unexpected consequences for spouses. In order for a couple to avoid being governed by the community property regime, they must enter into contractual regime, commonly known as a pre-marital agreement of prenuptial agreement. We work closely with our clients to determine whether a separate property matrimonial regime would be best suited to protect the economic circumstances of a couple, while also better reflecting the couple’s overall expectations regarding the relationship. Whether a client is planning for marriage or is already married, we can offer a collaborative approach to separating debts as well as assets by assisting clients in entering into a contractual marital regime that modifies or entirely opts out of the community property regime.
