Should You Get a Prenup?
If your marriage ends in divorce, the last thing you want to be dealing with is the division of your property and assets. By drawing up a prenuptial agreement well before your wedding, the details you may need years down the line will already be settled.
Prenuptial agreements are common among those who have previously gone through a difficult divorce or have a sizeable portion of assets. Regardless of your circumstances, it is in your best interest to divide your property, rather than letting the court do it for you.
What Is Covered in a Prenuptial Agreement?
A prenuptial agreement covers a wide variety of important asset-related concerns.
Your prenuptial agreement can include:
- Whether or not spousal support will be provided
- The division of life insurance
- The division of assets and property
- Determining the payment of premarital debts
- Medical care and disability insurance, should the need arise
- Provisions for your children from a previous marriage, such as inheritance and the like
- Child support
In the state of Missouri, future child custody cannot be included in a prenuptial agreement. If and when the time comes to decide upon this, the decision will be made based on the child's best interests at that time.

“I have been in and out of the courts for 2 years and Mr. Hogan has always kept me updated on my case. I understand I am not his only client, but he made me feel like I was his priority. I have never had an attorney that would reach out to me on a weekend, till I met Mr. Hogan. He was always professional, caring and kind to me. I wish there were more attorney's like Mr. Hogan, whom is willing to go an extra mile for you without his hand out everytime you spoke a word. Thank you for your representation Mr. Hogan.”- Linda

“Bill is truly a family man and demonstrates community spirit in his law practice. His outreach to help people is truly evident. He helped me with a traffic ticket and continued diligently to get it expunged from my record, as I am a good driver and the speed limit in the area was extremely unusual for a major thoroughfare. It was a small task, but Bill treated me as though I was his first client. Thank you, Bill, for your great service!”- Kathy K.
