- Premarital agreements: The best time to make decisions about what will happen if you predecease your spouse or get a divorce is at the time you are contemplating getting married. The document which will set out these decisions is called a premarital agreement, a prenuptial agreement or just a "prenup". Whether you are part of a young couple just starting out, part of a more mature couple who are interested in making provisions for your adult children, or anywhere in between, Martha New Milam can help you to develop a prenup which will address your exact needs and concerns.
- Separation and property settlement agreements: Most divorcing couples work with lawyers and/or a mediator to negotiate a settlement which is tailored to their family's circumstances. They then have the settlement terms made a part of a private contract called a separation and property settlement agreement — you may have heard someone refer to the document as their "separation papers". Martha New Milam has been negotiating and drafting separation and property settlement agreements in Durham for over 20 years, and she can help you with yours.
- Domestic partnership agreements: Same-sex couples or other unmarried couples can benefit greatly from entering into a written contract called a domestic partnership agreement. Consult with Martha New Milam to decide if a domestic partnership agreement fits your needs.
