Is there a way to get a Post Nuptial done without a lawyer and cheaply? -

My husband and I got married in April 06. After discussing it, we would like to get a post nuptial agreement. Is there anyway to do this cheaply without getting a lawyer and going to court? Can you download the forms online and just get them notarized? We live in Indiana. Thanks so much!!

Both of you really should have your own attorneys for this. If an attorney tells you that he or she can do it for both of you... find another attorney. You also need to make sure Indiana allows postnups (they probably do). This is something very serious. You shouldn t think in terms of quot;cheaplyquot;, you should think about it in terms of quot;making sure it s done rightquot;. If you make a mistake doing it yourself, you re probably going to be bound by that mistake, but... if your attorney makes the mistake... at least you have a recourse (malpractice).

This is usually done before the wedding!! As an exception to the marital statutes of your state. You need a lawyer because many complicated issues including enforcement when you try to do this after the wedding.

Don t be so darn cheap!!!! Spend the $$$ now, it may save you latter. It s your life you ve invested in here.

Each of you should have your own attorney.

yes but it might not hold up in court
