What Adam Brown Will Do for You
Adam Brown takes a Wall Street approach to Main Street needs. In other words, you can expect that your prenup is going to get the extreme attention to detail that it needs. When you choose to work with Adam Brown, you get an attorney who will:
Protect What Matters Most to You
Are you entering your marriage with significant assets? Are you supporting your partner while they attend school? Does your partner have significant debt? Adam Brown can help you create a prenup that protects you and your investments so that you can prosper if your marriage comes to an end.
Establish a Valid Agreement
The State of New Jersey will not recognize a prenup that was signed under duress, entered without independent legal counsel (or a documented waiver), failed to disclose all assets, or would leave the other party unable to support themselves. Adam Brown will coordinate a prenup that meets all these requirements.
Provide Invaluable Peace of Mind
If your marriage ends in divorce, the state will divide all property—including debt—between you and your ex-spouse as it sees equitable. However, that doesn't mean the result will be something you consider fair. Let Adam Brown make certain that your best interests will be protected in the event of divorce.

Can I Afford a Prenup?
The cost of a prenup will depend primarily on its complexity. If you are a business owner with significant assets expecting a large inheritance, your case will probably be more complex than that of a recent college graduate with relatively few assets. If cost is a concern, you should consider whether you can afford not to have this kind of protection.
If your financial future seems relatively clear, you would obviously benefit from having a legal document in place to protect your best interests. If you are working three jobs to support yourself and your spouse-to-be as they start a business, you may not think asset protection is necessary. However, the time, money, and effort you invested in your partner's education and career may not be reflected in a way you feel is fair if property division is left to the state.
Marriage is a partnership. You have everything to gain by creating a legally binding plan if that partnership fails. Get in touch today to book a free consultation to learn about Mr. Brown's rates and what you might expect to pay for this valuable safety measure.
Four Essential Requirements Adam Brown Will Meet In Your Prenup
There are four basic requirements that your prenup must meet in order to be considered valid in New Jersey. In order to make sure your prenup is indisputable, he will:
Substantiate That the Agreement Was Voluntary
New Jersey will not consider your agreement valid if it can be proven that either party signed it under duress, coercion, or undue influence (such as manipulation or threats). This proof is directly related to meeting the three other essential requirements of a valid prenup.
Document That Independent Counsel Was Used or Waived
Both parties have to either involve their own lawyer in the process, or formally waive their right to their own lawyer. In either case, Mr. Brown will make certain that both your choice and that of your partner are documented and can be clearly demonstrated to the courts.
Provide Comprehensive Asset Disclosure
Your prenup must list all your assets. Even when parties are committed to being transparent regarding assets, it's easy to overlook certain assets by mistake, which could render the agreement completely invalid. Mr. Brown will take a detailed inventory of your assets and make sure they are completely disclosed in your agreement.
Arrange an Agreement That Won't Leave Either Party Without Support
New Jersey requires that the terms of the prenup won't leave either party a “charge of the state.” In other words, if the agreement would leave you or your partner depending on welfare for support, it won't be considered valid. Adam Brown will work with you and your partner's attorney to coordinate an agreement that will leave neither of you without a means of independent support.

Everyone Can Benefit from a Prenup
Adam Brown explains that even if you are young and don't have significant wealth or assets, a prenup can provide you and your partner with valuable benefits. Regardless of your age or economic status, Adam Brown can help protect your future with a prenuptial agreement.
A Prenup Is Not a Sign of Distrust
People often ask if a desire to get a prenup is a sign of distrust by one partner or the other. In fact, it could help position you for longer-lasting union because:
It's steeped in communication and honesty.
A lack of communication is a primary reason why many marriages fail. A prenup requires a frank discussion in which both partners can voice their concerns, giving you an even clearer picture of the person you intend to marry.
It represents a desire to make difficult situations easier for you both.
Divorces can easily turn contentious. Although prenups cannot address child custody, they can make property division a predetermined and straightforward process.
It can represent a deeper sense of realism and respect.
New Jersey doesn't allow prenups that give one party everything while leaving the other with no means of support. While the agreement will be tailored to serve your best interests, it can also reflect those of your partner.
Prenup FAQ
If you are considering a prenup in New Jersey, we expect that you have many questions. Adam C. Brown is a New Brunswick prenup lawyer who will take time to answer all of your questions during your consultation. For now, here are some fast answers to some of the questions clients ask most often:
Do I need a lawyer to create a prenup?
You do not have to consult a lawyer, but the state requires you to formally waive your right to independent counsel if you don't want it. Without either hiring an attorney or waiving your right to one, the prenup will be considered invalid. We strongly encourage you to consult an attorney when drafting your prenup to make sure it meets all the state's requirements and truly protects your best interests.
Can my partner and I use the same lawyer to draft our prenup?
No. You and your spouse-to-be must consult your own attorney or waive your right to review the prenup with an attorney.
When is the validity of the prenup verified?
Judges will evaluate the prenup after both parties agree to it. That way, you won't have to wait until you need to enforce the terms of the prenup to discover that it is invalid. Adam C. Brown can make certain that your prenup is good-to-go before the signatures are in place, saving you time, money, and frustration.
Can a prenup be amended during a marriage?
Yes, it can. The state recognizes that circumstances and needs change. As with the original version of your prenup, you have everything to gain by consulting an attorney who can make certain any amendments you or your spouse consider are in your best interests and will be upheld by the state.
Can a prenup address child custody and child support?
No. New Jersey holds that these decisions can only be made at the time of a divorce. Adam Brown wishes you a long and happy marriage, but if you require family law services at any point in the future, matters relating to child support and custody are a big part of his practice, and he can help you achieve the best outcome.
