Q: When should married couples consider a postnuptial agreement?

A: A postnuptial agreement can be useful when circumstances change after marriage and a couple wants to establish clear financial expectations for the future.

In Virginia, couples might consider one after a significant change in income or assets, when one spouse starts or acquires an interest in a business, after receiving an inheritance, or when they want to address how property, debts, or support would be handled if the marriage ends.

A postnuptial agreement isn't necessarily a sign that divorce is coming. For some couples, it's simply a way to put financial decisions and expectations in writing.

If changes in your marriage or finances have you considering a postnuptial agreement, ReeseLaw can help you understand your options. Contact our office or visit our website to schedule a consultation.

Divorce after 50 can bring financial questions that require a closer look.

Retirement accounts and pensions may represent decades of accumulated assets. Health insurance can become a concern before Medicare eligibility. Housing decisions, Social Security considerations, spousal support, and estate plans may also take on greater significance when retirement is approaching or has already begun.

There may also be less time to recover financially from decisions made during divorce.

If you're considering divorce later in life, look beyond the immediate division of assets. Contact our office or visit our website to learn more.

Sports practice. Music lessons. Travel teams. After-school clubs. Who gets to decide which activities your child participates in after divorce?

In Virginia, the answer may depend on your custody arrangement and the terms of your parenting plan. Parents with joint legal custody generally share responsibility for major decisions involving their child, while the details surrounding extracurricular activities can depend on the specific agreement or court order.

Cost, transportation, scheduling, and whether an activity affects the other parent's time can also create points of disagreement.

If extracurricular activities are becoming a recurring source of conflict, review what your parenting plan actually says. ReeseLaw can help you understand your rights and determine whether your current arrangement needs to be addressed. Contact our office or visit our website to learn more.

Health insurance can be easy to overlook when you're focused on the bigger decisions in divorce. But coverage may change once a Virginia divorce is final.

If you currently receive health insurance through your spouse's employer-sponsored plan, you generally cannot remain covered as a spouse after the final decree. Depending on the plan and your circumstances, options may include COBRA or other continuation coverage, a plan through your own employer, or an individual policy.

This can be especially important if you've relied on your spouse's benefits for years or are approaching retirement but aren't yet eligible for Medicare.

Don't wait until the ink is dry to address your health coverage. Factoring future premiums into your financial settlement is a vital part of protecting your long-term security.

If you're preparing for divorce in Virginia, ReeseLaw can help you understand the financial issues you should be considering right now. Contact our office or visit our website to learn more.

For years, much of family life may revolve around children: school, sports, activities, schedules, and the constant demands of parenting.

If this new chapter has you reconsidering your marriage, you don't have to know exactly what comes next before seeking legal advice. Contact our office or visit our website to understand your options and what you should consider before making major decisions.

Divorce doesn't automatically mean preparing for a courtroom battle.

Depending on your circumstances, Collaborative Law, mediation, or a negotiated agreement may allow you to resolve important issues outside of court while maintaining more control over the process and outcome.

Litigation remains an important option when needed. But understanding the alternatives can help you choose an approach that better fits your family, priorities, and circumstances.

Not sure which path makes sense for you? Call our office or visit our website so we can help you get started.

The school year is underway, but is your parenting plan working with the new routine?

New school schedules, transportation requirements, homework demands, extracurricular activities, and changing work commitments can have conflicts that weren’t present in prior years.

An occasional scheduling hiccup may simply require flexibility. But if the same conflicts keep coming up, it may be worth considering whether your current parenting arrangement still meets your family's needs.

If your parenting plan no longer fits your family's day-to-day routine, call our office or visit our website to discuss whether a modification may be appropriate.

Grandparents can hold a special place in a family by sharing traditions, offering support, creating memories, and providing another steady presence in a child’s life.

This National Grandparents Day, we celebrate the grandparents and grandparent figures who strengthen family connections across generations.

Families may change over time, but those important bonds can remain a meaningful part of a child’s life.

Happy Grandparents Day from all of us at ReeseLaw!

September is National Recovery Month, recognizing the progress of people in recovery and the families and professionals who support them.

In family law, substance use can also raise difficult questions about custody and parenting. When concerns arise, the focus should remain on the individual circumstances of the family, including a child's safety, stability, and best interests.

A history of substance use does not tell the whole story. Current circumstances, treatment and recovery efforts, parenting abilities, and evidence of how a child may be affected are also important factors to consider.

If substance use or recovery is affecting your custody or co-parenting situation, contact our office or visit out website to learn about the legal options available to your family.
