Because she is madly in love, Jessica Simpson is resisting the prenuptial agreement that her father, Joe Simpson, is urging his daughter to sign with Eric Johnson. The singer does not agree with her father, believing the prenuptial agreement to be a bad omen and completely unromantic. Simpson does not think it would be a good idea to get the former NFL player to sign one.

Due to this disagreement between father and son, the former NFLer feels that the family does not like him and only views him as a user. Yet, according to several sources, Johnson made the singer buy her own engagement ring. After all, he is technically unemployed.

Although she isn't singing as much anymore, her clothing empire has become extremely lucrative and is closing in on the $1 billion mark. Sources wonder whether Joe Simpson is actually concerned about his daughter's welfare or attempting to protect his own financial interests in her burgeoning business.

There are specific circumstances where it's a good idea to have a prenuptial agreement set up between two people. Marriage is a firm agreement between two people but this agreement also includes financial concerns. Following are just a few reasons why a prenuptial agreement, sometimes referred to as a  "prenup" agreement would be important.

Reason #1 :If you had children from a previous marriage and you wanted to ensure they inherit the assets you accumulated before your second marriage. If you were to die without a prenuptial agreement or get divorced, your children might have to share part of this amount with your new spouse.

Reason #2: Another reason for having a prenuptial agreement would be if  you owned  a share of a family business before your current  marriage and you want to keep it in that side of the family. If you died without a prenuptial agreement or got divorced, your new spouse might share in the family business which could dramatically change the family interaction within the business.

If you are considering marriage or know someone who is, it would be worthwhile to have a legal expert draw up a prenuptial agreement if any of the above situations are factors for concern. Contact Claery & Green today at 310-362-2273 to schedule a consultation with a Los Angeles family law attorney at the firm.

If you are planning to get married, there are great benefits to drafting a prenuptial agreement.

Many people assume that prenuptial agreements are only for the wealthy. In reality, any person can benefit from having a prenuptial agreement on file. Filing a prenuptial agreement basically allows the parties to pre-determine how their assets and property will be divided if their marriage comes to an end. However, prenuptial agreements do more than just protect money and assets in the event of a divorce. They are also effective tools for detailing a couple's wishes regarding how they would like child custody and visitation to be arranged, as well as regarding how and how much alimony will be paid.

At Claery & Green, we know that filing a prenuptial agreement can be a touchy subject to discuss with your fiancé. Let's face it, the last thing you want to discuss right before getting married is what you would do if you got divorced. While this is completely understandable, trust us when we say that even though this conversation might be uncomfortable, it is an important one have. Without having a prenuptial agreement in place, your marital assets will be subject to equal distribution laws. And because California divides marital property equally, you might lose a great deal of money in the divorce or your spouse may be awarded a treasured piece of property.

Filing a prenuptial agreement is easy. Simply call Claery & Green to arrange a consultation with an experienced Los Angeles family law attorney who can customize your agreement to your particular needs and wishes, and then file the necessary paperwork with the court to ensure your agreement goes into effect.
