Your Legal Ally for Family Matters

We guide family members by explaining the law and outlining the process to help them achieve their desired results and end goals.  Family law disputes can feel like a never-ending uphill battle without professional legal assistance, but the professional legal assistance does not have to be cost prohibitive.  In fact, moving forward without the advice of an attorney or a limited scope review for uncontested matters can cost one more in the long run by not understanding risks or one’s rights under the law.  Stepanuk Law Group personally works with each of our clients to sort through the complexities of:

  • Prenuptial Agreements
  • Postnuptial Agreements (also known as Antenuptial Agreements)
  • Separation and Property Settlement Agreements
  • Co-habitation Agreements for Unmarried Couples Purchasing Real Estate Together
  • Uncontested Divorce Filings
  • Mediation and the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Processes

Family Law

Separation and Property Settlement Agreements

To avoid a costly, emotional, and time intensive divorce trial, a Separation and Property Settlement Agreements, also known as Separation Agreements, Marital Settlement Agreements, or Property Settlement Agreements, enable couples to resolve all legal issues associated with the dissolution of the marriage: custody, child support, insurance, alimony and spousal maintenance, property and asset division, and debt distribution.”  These agreements offer various advantages including:

Simplified Property Division

A separation agreement allows parties to agree on how to divide their property, even if it differs from how a court would handle it.

Reduced Stress

Creating a separation agreement can be more amicable and less stressful than court proceedings.

Legal Protection

A well-crafted separation agreement provides clarity, structure, and legal protection during the separation process and after the divorce.

Cost Effective and Flexible

Less expensive than a contested trial helping to keep more hard earned money in your pocket.
