Infos

Every couple, whether married, about to be married, or living together (including couples of the same sex), should have a contract to solidify their agreements.

A written contract is a valuable document that can help you define and clarify your expectations and goals, avoid surprises, and strengthen your relationship. 'The Prenuptial Guide - Contracts for Lovers' shows readers how to write their own cohabitation, prenuptial, or marriage contract.

Written by a lawyer, the kit comes with plain-language instructions so it’s easy to use. This kit includes sample contracts, a set of blank forms for you to write your own contract, and a download kit containing the blank forms so that you can fill in the forms using a Windows-based PC. Topics covered in this book include:


Why you should write a domestic contract

When a contract should be made

What can and cannot be covered

What terms are and are not legally enforceable

How to ensure that your contract is fair

Why independent legal advice is important

Under what circumstances an agreement can be set aside
