Millennials often choose to wait longer to get married and increasingly do not get married at all.

Couples who choose to get married may want to consider a prenup to ensure a solid foundation for their marriage. Couples who choose to cohabitate, with or without children, may also want an agreement to assure mutual understanding and avoid future conflict.
At Hansen & Hildebrand, we can help you understand your legal options to create mutual agreements.

Many high school seniors have already started thinking about college next fall. In a divorce, parents’ financial obligations for their children end when the child is 18 and out of high school unless the parents agree otherwise. This can create challenges and hardship for young adult children. Though not a legal obligation, parents may want to jointly consider issues such as financial aid and college and living expenses to avoid conflict that puts their child in the middle.

At Hansen & Hildebrand, we will guide you through important family matters including post-secondary educational support with a focus on your children.

In a divorce, the legal presumption for property division is that assets and debts will be divided equally. However, pre-and post-nuptial agreements, gifted and inherited assets, and other factors may alter this assumption. Professional input is needed to understand your options, the value and tax-effect of property, and make the best decisions about division.

Our lawyers and mediators at Hansen & Hildebrand have experience and expertise in all aspects of divorce, including complex financial and business issues.
