Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements
A good marital agreement is not a prediction that the marriage will fail. It is a clear, fair plan that protects both people and keeps a future dispute short.

What an agreement can cover
Marital agreements commonly address separate and marital property, business interests, retirement savings, debt, and spousal maintenance. Child support and parenting decisions cannot be fixed in advance by a prenup; the court always keeps authority over what is best for the children.
Making it hold up
Full financial disclosure, time to review before signing, and each spouse having their own lawyer all make an agreement far stronger if it is ever challenged. Attorney Liken builds those protections into the process from the start.
Common questions
When should we sign a prenup?
Well before the wedding. Signing under time pressure invites a later challenge.
Can we sign an agreement after we are married?
Yes. Colorado recognizes postnuptial agreements, and the same care with disclosure and independent review applies.
