Prenuptial Agreement

Premarital Agreement – a phrase couples often loathe discussing. But at Hightower Reff Law, we believe a properly negotiated premarital agreement allows a couple to enjoy financial openness in their marriage while preserving the goals of both the individual and the couple as they move toward unifying their life together. Hightower Reff Law provides comprehensive drafting, review, explanation and negotiation of premarital agreements.

Premarital agreements in Nebraska are governed by the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act. Most importantly, a premarital agreement by definition is a contract entered into by prospective spouses in contemplation of marriage, to be effective upon marriage. Nebraska law does not allow postnuptial agreements unless such agreements are concurrent with a separation or divorce.

By executing a premarital agreement, the couple is able to agree in advance how certain aspects of their financial relationship will untangle in the event of divorce. By setting out these terms early on, in a time of amicable relations, the parties can define each person’s expectations in the event of marital discord. Premarital agreements also allow the parties to discuss and preserve their individual estate planning goals and plans in the event of one or both parties’ death.

Vern

"I would highly recommend Tracy. She represented me in my divorce which included child custody and child support issues. I was extremely impressed with her knowledge and professional skills. Tracy was always responsive and was aggressive as needed. I would use Tracy again in any legal matter that may come up in the future."

Brendon

"Tosha is great helping people decide how to manage their will and estate planning. She takes the time to discuss all of their needs."

Lynn

"I was referred to Susan from a family member who works for the Douglas County Public Defender Office. She did an outstanding job on 2 charges I had in 2 different counties, both of which were dismissed. She was as professional as they come, down-to-earth, and straight up with me. Prompt and well-priced. Hope I never need a lawyer again, but if I do, Susan would be the person that I would call."

"When I first met with Susan she seemed very understanding and did not push me into something I did not want to do. I left the first meeting feeling a little better about a bad situation. When I hired her she was not pushy about what to do or how to do it. Because I was still hoping for a different outcome, Susan and her staff were very understanding even when I did not take their advice. They still guided me through a very hard time. Thank You!"

Mike

"Tosha wrote my will with all the necessary add-ons. As I am disabled, she was kind enough to visit me during her lunch hour so I could sign it. She even brought the necessary witnesses! I have heard only good things about her expertise, and would not hesitate to have her handle any legal problems I might have."

Phyllis

"Tracy is amazing. She is the attorney you want sitting beside you or handling the touchy situations you dealt with. Tracy is professional, yet sensitive to her clients' needs. I am glad to have met Tracy and referred her to my family!"

Lesley

"My husband and I hired Tracy to help us with what I think is a rare legal matter. She spent a lot of time researching the issue and came up with conclusions I don't feel every lawyer would have considered. She really listened to what we wanted and needed and has taken on a lot of the burden that was weighing heavily on us. We are still in our legal process, but we wouldn't be as far along in the process without Tracy."

Jennifer

"Tracy was a phenomenal attorney during my divorce. She gave me nothing but insightful and helpful advice. She listened to how I wanted to handle my case and always offered other options, but always kept me (her client) in mind. I met with many lawyers before choosing one who I felt comfortable with and I am more than happy that I selected Tracy as my attorney."
