Baton Rouge is a great place to get married, but before you walk down the aisle, you need to talk about the future. Louisiana operates under a "community property" regime, which means without a prenup, the state decides how your assets are managed and divided. At Mayeux Law, we help Baton Rouge couples create their own rules. A prenuptial agreement isn't planning for failure; it's planning for clarity.
You don’t have to let the default laws control your marriage. With our experienced team, we will draft an agreement that protects both of you, ensuring financial peace of mind from day one.
In Louisiana, income earned during the marriage is community property. If you own a business in Baton Rouge, have family land, or significant savings, those assets can become commingled without a prenup. To opt out of the community property regime, you must execute a specific "matrimonial agreement" before a Notary and two witnesses. It must be done correctly to be valid in the 19th JDC.
At Mayeux Law, we specialize in drafting these agreements. We ensure they are technically flawless and properly recorded with the East Baton Rouge Clerk of Court.
We know how to draft clauses that specifically protect local assets like businesses, real estate, and inheritances from becoming community property.
A prenup in Louisiana is a formal contract. We ensure the execution meets all the strict form requirements of Louisiana law, so it holds up in court if ever needed.
We work to ensure the agreement is fair and transparent, preventing future claims of duress or fraud. We want both parties to feel secure.
