Family and Domestic Partnership, Adoption

Marriage, civil partnership, non-marital cohabitation

When entering into marriage, establishing a civil partnership, or living in a long-term non-marital relationship, the first question that arises is what legal implications this situation has for each partner.
The partners must decide whether they wish to have the statutory provisions apply to their relationship or whether they want to enter into an individual agreement that provides for a balanced and fair solution, particularly in the event of a later separation and divorce/dissolution of the civil partnership or non-marital cohabitation.
As a notary, I recommend that you enter into a prenuptial agreement or a comparable arrangement for civil partnerships and cohabiting relationships to prevent future disputes in the event of a separation, which can be particularly stressful for any children involved.
As a notary and thus an impartial advisor, I can first provide you with an overview of the legal situation. Once we have discussed your specific life situation and plans in a personal consultation, I will draft a customized “precautionary” agreement for you.
Please look under “Forms” for the prenuptial agreement form, fill it out with your personal information, and email the completed form to us via a secure connection with a single click; we will then get back to you immediately.

Separation, Divorce

In the event of a separation, as a notary, I will assist you in reaching a fair and balanced separation and divorce settlement agreement to avoid costly and protracted legal disputes, particularly in the best interests of any children you may have. Furthermore, a divorce settlement agreement allows for the existing assets, particularly jointly owned real estate, to be divided fairly and reasonably.
Please look under “Forms” for the Divorce Agreement form, fill it out with your personal information, and email the completed form to us via a secure connection with a single click; we will then get back to you immediately.

Adoption

As your local notary, I am the right person to contact for questions regarding the relationship between parents and children, including those related to a planned adoption (adoption of minors and adoption of adults).
Please go to “Forms,” find the Adoption form, fill it out with your personal information, and email the completed form to us via a secure connection with a single click; we will then contact you immediately.
