Non Marital Agreements

Cohabitation

We draft cohabitation agreements for people who live together or co-own property, and clarify the rights and responsibilities in advance of forming the relationship

Domestic Partnership and Marital Prenuptial Agreements

We create prenuptial agreements for couples about to be married or who are going to register as domestic partners. These agreements clarify property ownership, separation of assets and determine community property.

We also help establish the limits or waivers on future spousal support, should separation occur.

Domestic Partnership Dissolution

We represent non-marital couples in dividing assets and determining support. If you are not a registered domestic partner, this happens in civil court; if you are a registered domestic partner, this happens in family law court, as if it were a divorce.

Goodman & Metz has worked with clients who have millions of dollars in assets to divide, and resolved the division out of court. We have saved our clients tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees and potential tax liability. And when settlement is not an option, we’re here to litigate and get the right result.
