Will I Have to Take on My Spouse’s Debt During a Divorce?

February 16, 2021/in Divorce & Family Law/by Kirk Drennan Law

Debt in high-asset divorces plays a different role than it does in standard divorces. Debt is often used as a leverage tool by high-asset couples, rather than a survival tool. However, this fact can also make it much more difficult to divide debt during a split. If you are concerned about how yours and your […]

January 21, 2021/in family law/by Kirk Drennan Law

Prenuptial agreements are often a controversial subject, but they don’t have to be. When done properly, they protect both parties and limit complications if divorce were to occur.

January 11, 2021/in family law/by Kirk Drennan Law
