for Family Transitions

Do you:
 
  - Want to put as much planning into their marriage as you devote to your wedding.

  - Want to be proactive and create your own prenup agreement rather than use the
  state's one-size-fits all prenup.

  - Value the need to address any disparities, financial or other, before you tie the
  knot..

  - Want to memorialize your promises and commitment to each other.

  - Have substantial assets or expected inheritances.

  - Have a specialized career with atypical earning patterns (e.g. pro athletes).

  - Expect to earn high future incomes (perhaps because you hold advanced
  degrees).

  - Own closely held businesses.
 
  - Want to define property rights for estate planning.

  - Already have children.

  - Anticipate that you or your spouse may make career adjustments to raise children.

Creating a document that functions as a Collaborative Prenup for couples marrying in the Catholic church is possible using the Collaborative process. Often called a Marriage Planning Document, Kate has worked with the staff at the Archdiocese of Chicago to understand how their requirements need to be included in this document.
