She has substantial experience in cases dealing in both large and small marital estates, including those with residential and commercial properties, closely-held businesses, trusts and pensions, as well as alimony, insurance and other related matters. Many of her cases also include contested issues involving children in divorce and paternity cases, such as residential placement, parenting schedules, co-parenting and child support.
Premarital Agreement
Client filed for a no-fault divorce after a short term marriage, with no children. Client earned significant six-figure income and had valuable assets including real estate, IRA, 401-K and savings accounts. A prenuptial agreement had been executed two weeks prior to the marriage that protected clientâ€™s assets. Clientâ€™s spouse requested alimony and challenged the validity of the prenuptial agreement, asserting that it was unconscionable. At the hearing on the validity of the prenuptial agreement, spouseâ€™s counsel attempted to argue other grounds to invalidate the prenuptial agreement that were not previously alleged, including spouseâ€™s lack of opportunity to consult with counsel. Clientâ€™s counsel objected, asserting opposing counselâ€™s failure to plead the grounds or notify counsel or the court in any way of the asserted grounds. The court took the objection under advisement and heard all the evidence presented by both parties on all issues. In a detailed ruling, the judge found that the prenuptial agreement was not unconscionable and was therefore valid and enforceable. The judge further ruled that opposing counsel had not appropriately raised the other grounds for challenging the validity of the prenuptial agreement, and they were therefore waived. Nevertheless, the judge went on the say that even were those grounds to be considered by the court, based on the evidence submitted at the hearing the spouseâ€™s claims would fail. The judge then gave a detailed analysis of why the claims would fail. Prior to the temporary hearing on alimony, spouse withdrew the request for alimony and the case settled by agreement on terms favorable to client.
