How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Postnuptial Agreement in Tennessee (March 2023)

In 2023, a personal client in Tennessee sought assistance in drafting a legal document to establish a postnuptial agreement. The client aimed to clearly delineate the separation of assets and debts in the event of a divorce, emphasizing that there was no shared or joint property, especially considering the contributions made by both spouses. The client expressed concerns about the financial arrangements given that one spouse had recently begun working full-time after a significant period of support in regard to her professional development. As a result, the client received one proposal from a licensed lawyer, with a flat fee bid of $1,200. The proposal was submitted within the requested timeframe of one week, meeting the client's urgent need for legal support.
