Montgomery County PA High Profile Divorce Lawyer

It seems that high profile couples are always splitting up. Whether couples in the public eye actually experience higher rates of divorce or not is debatable, but it is certainly the perception, due in large part to the media. Television, newspapers and magazines seem to relish sharing every detail of a high profile couple's split with the public. It may be unfair, but if you are a professional athlete, entertainer or politician, you often find yourself not only struggling with the end of your relationship, but fighting to keep the intimate details private as well.

The Law Offices of Sheryl R. Rentz, PC recommends having a solid pre-marital agreement constructed and signed before your marriage, or soon after. While it may seem distasteful from a romantic perspective, the reality of being a public personage makes these legally binding agreements a must, not only to protect your assets, but also to safeguard your privacy. A pre-marital agreement, also called a prenuptial, ante-nuptial or colloquially, a "pre-nup," addresses the following:

• All earnings, property holdings and other financial and real estate assets each partner owns upon entering into the marriage
• What happens to this money and property if the marriage ends
• The division of property made, bought or sold during the marriage
• If relevant, how to handle Montgomery County PA child custody, visitation, support, inheritance and other issues
• How to manage future earnings, alimony or other spousal support payments
• The conditions under which these agreed-upon divisions of assets may be amended, such as if one partner is caught cheating or stealing

In addition to these safeguards, a pre-marital agreement can restrict what each spouse says publicly about the other, their relationship and any issues relating to settlement of their divorce. This restriction can save a high profile person's reputation and livelihood, as private details about what you may or may not have done can have a profound effect on how the public views you. For example, if you are an actor and your future ex states in interviews that you were abusive, it could make movie audiences stop supporting your films and ruin your chances of getting upcoming roles. A pre-marital agreement limiting what your ex can and cannot discuss in the press can save your career, protect your income stream and preserve your personal life from public scrutiny.

If you are about to enter into a prominent marriage or are already facing a high profile divorce in Montgomery County PA, please contact Montgomery County PA divorce lawyer Sheryl R. Rentz today. We can help you draw up a solid pre-marital agreement or see to it that any existing agreements are enforced. Call today for a free consultation.
