Clear expectations today prevent confusion tomorrow.

A Prenuptial Agreement (signed before marriage) or a Marital Agreement (signed during marriage) sets clear terms around finances, property, and expectations in the event of divorce, death, or other major life changes. These agreements are not just for the wealthy—they’re for anyone who wants clarity, protection, and peace of mind.

At Auxo Law, we help couples have honest conversations about money, ownership, and responsibility—so that both parties enter or continue the marriage with mutual understanding and a written plan.

Why Consider a Prenup or Marital Agreement?

• Clarify how finances are handled in marriage

• Protect personal or family-owned businesses

• Safeguard inheritances or separate property

• Define how property would be divided in a divorce

• Reduce conflict and legal fees if the unexpected happens

These agreements can help minimize uncertainty, protect your interests, and strengthen communication in the relationship.

When Should You Create One?

• Before getting married—especially if one or both spouses:

• Own significant assets or real estate

• Have children from a prior relationship

• Expect to receive an inheritance

• Have unequal income or debt levels

• Own or co-own a business
  
  
  

During marriage—if you're:

• Combining or restructuring finances

• Starting a business

• Planning for long-term care or estate issues

• Rebuilding after a separation or conflict

What Can a Marital Agreement Cover?

• Property ownership and division

• Debt responsibility

• Spousal support or alimony

• Business interests and succession

• Estate rights and planning integration

• How income, expenses, and savings will be managed

Colorado vs. New York: Legal Context Matters

• 
  

• In Colorado, prenups and marital agreements are governed by the Uniform Premarital and Marital Agreements Act (UPMAA), which emphasizes fairness, voluntary signing, and full disclosure.

• In New York, courts scrutinize marital agreements for fairness at the time of signing and at the time of enforcement—making careful drafting essential.

• 
  

We ensure your agreement complies with state laws and stands up to scrutiny if ever challenged.
