Prenuptial Agreement Attorney in St. Louis

Personal Experience. Low Caseloads. Prenuptial Agreements Done Right.

A prenuptial agreement is a written contract signed before marriage that defines how property, assets, debts, and financial rights can be handled if the marriage ends in divorce or death. Because Missouri hasn’t adopted the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act, courts evaluate these agreements under a combination of state statutes and case law, which means drafting one correctly requires careful attention to both what the agreement says and how it’s executed. At Kallen Law Firm, LLC, we advise and draft prenuptial agreements for clients across the St. Louis area, including West St. Louis County, St. Charles, and St. Louis County. With 55+ years of combined legal experience and thousands of clients represented, we approach each agreement with the focused attention it deserves.

We deliberately limit our caseload. That choice means when you come to us, your prenuptial agreement isn’t processed alongside dozens of others. Our attorneys know your story, your priorities, and what you need the agreement to accomplish.

Who Should Consider a Prenuptial Agreement

A prenuptial agreement, sometimes called a premarital agreement, isn’t only for the very wealthy. Many life situations make one a practical step before marriage.

• Second marriages with children: Parents entering a second marriage often use a prenuptial agreement to protect their children’s inheritance rights and keep assets separate from the new marital estate.
• Business owners and professionals: A prenuptial agreement can establish that a business interest or professional practice remains separate property, helping protect it from division at divorce.
• Significant pre-marital debt: When one spouse carries substantial debt into the marriage, an agreement can limit the other spouse’s exposure to that liability.
• Dual-income and career-focused couples: Professional couples who want to define financial expectations before combining finances benefit from the clarity a prenuptial agreement provides.
• Pre-marital assets and anticipated inheritances: If you have substantial assets, a family trust interest, or an expected inheritance, a prenuptial agreement can help protect what you built before the marriage began.
• Avoiding Missouri’s default rules: Missouri applies equitable distribution principles at divorce, which can produce outcomes neither party anticipated. A prenuptial agreement replaces that uncertainty with terms you and your future spouse actually agreed to.
