Protect Your Future
Together — and Individually
A prenuptial or postnuptial agreement isn't about planning for divorce — it's about starting or strengthening your marriage with honesty, clarity, and mutual respect. Francisca helps couples create agreements that protect both partners and stand up in court.
A financial conversation every couple should have
Whether you're approaching your wedding day or have been married for years, a marital agreement creates a foundation of transparency. It documents what each partner brings into the marriage, how finances will be handled during the marriage, and how assets would be divided if the relationship ends — on your terms, not the state's default rules.
Francisca approaches these conversations with sensitivity and professionalism, ensuring both partners understand the agreement fully and feel respected throughout the process. Offered in both Texas and Arizona.
Prenuptial vs. Postnuptial
What's the difference?

Prenuptial Agreement
Signed before the wedding
A prenuptial agreement is entered into before the couple marries. It establishes financial rights and responsibilities and takes effect the moment the marriage is legally recognized.
-
Drafted and signed before the wedding date
-
Protects pre-marital assets and separate property
-
Can address business ownership and future inheritance
-
Typically easier to enforce than postnuptial agreements
-
Gives both parties clarity before combining finances
Postnuptial Agreement
Signed after the wedding
A postnuptial agreement is created after the couple is already married. Couples often pursue these after a significant financial change, a business launch, or to revisit protections they didn't have before the wedding.
-
Drafted and signed during the marriage
-
Addresses assets and debts acquired during marriage
-
Can protect a new business or inherited property
-
Useful when financial situations change significantly
-
Requires full financial disclosure from both spouses
Who should consider a marital agreement?
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are appropriate for many couples — not just the wealthy. If any of the following describe you, a marital agreement is worth discussing.
Business Owners
Protect your business interests and ensure your company isn't subject to division in a divorce.
Parents From Prior Relationships
Preserve assets and inheritance rights for children from a previous marriage or relationship.
Real Estate & Property Owners
Clarify ownership of real property you own before or acquire during the marriage.
Those with Significant assets or debts
Protect savings, investments, or keep pre-existing debts separate from marital finances.
remarrying couples
Second marriages benefit greatly from a clear agreement that protects both partners and prior family obligations.
