Marital property regime

Prevention is protection: pacts in anticipation of breakup and marriage chapters

At Carmen Varela, Abogados de Familia, we believe in the importance of anticipating conflicts before they arise. Marital agreements and pre-breakup agreements allow couples, whether current or future, to clearly regulate the personal and financial consequences that could arise from a possible separation, divorce, or annulment.

These legal instruments offer security, avoid future uncertainties, and protect both assets and personal relationships, especially when there are children or property in common. Our team advises you so you can make informed, balanced decisions tailored to your situation.

Our approach: anticipation, clarity and balance

We approach the drafting of marital agreements and pacts in anticipation of a breakup from a preventive and personalized perspective. We believe that establishing the ground rules in advance strengthens the relationship, provides legal certainty, and avoids unnecessary conflicts in the future.

Our approach is based on dialogue and balance between the parties, ensuring that agreements are fair, respectful of the wishes of both parties, and fully legally valid. Whether prenuptial or postnuptial agreements, we support you in making informed, clear decisions tailored to your family and property situation.

The path we walk together:

First consultation and analysis of the situation

We listen to your case, evaluate whether a prenuptial agreement, postnuptial agreement, or an agreement in anticipation of a breakup is appropriate, and address your questions about its legal implications.

Identification of needs and objectives

We study your personal, financial, and family situation to clearly define the aspects that need to be regulated: current and future assets, financial arrangements, child custody, pensions, etc.

Drafting of the agreement

We draft the document using clear and rigorous language, ensuring that it reflects the wishes of both parties in a balanced manner and complies with legal requirements.

Case resolution and follow-up

Once an agreement has been reached or a judgment has been issued, we advise you on the next steps and how to comply with the resolutions. If new needs arise in the future, we remain available to provide you with the best legal support.
