How We Help

A good agreement is a quiet insurance policy

Under Colorado’s Uniform Premarital and Marital Agreements Act (C.R.S. § 14-2-301), a well-built agreement protects a business, an inheritance, or children from a prior marriage — but a sloppy one is worthless the day it matters. The enforceability is entirely in how it’s done.

Prenuptial agreements — signed before marriage, setting property, debt, and maintenance terms (C.R.S. § 14-2-309).
Postnuptial (marital) agreements — the same protections, entered after you’re already married.
What makes it enforceable — signed voluntarily, with fair financial disclosure and a real chance at independent counsel (C.R.S. § 14-2-309). Skip those and a court can toss it.
What it can’t do — you cannot bargain away child support or lock in a custody outcome; those stay with the court.
Business & blended-family protection — keeping a company, a professional practice, or a child’s inheritance separate.
Challenging or enforcing one — in a divorce, we attack a defective agreement or enforce a sound one.

Ready when you are — talk it through with Charles.

Your choice: no-charge 20-minute phone call OR in-depth hour ($300) — both directly with Charles.

The disclosure is the whole ballgame

Prenups fail on hidden assets and last-minute pressure. Done early, honestly, and with both sides advised, they hold — that’s the version we build.

Fees you can plan around: clear fee agreements, flexible payment plans through Affirm, and secure payments with Square.
