How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Postnuptial Agreement in Pennsylvania (February 2025)

In 2025, a personal client in Pennsylvania sought assistance with drafting a postnuptial agreement in light of their decision to separate while remaining married. The couple, together for 48 years, needed to address the division of shared assets, including a farm and associated equipment, along with creating a plan to manage their debts and joint expenses. They aimed to clarify their financial responsibilities, particularly regarding tax liabilities and property sales, while ensuring both parties agreed in writing to any amendments to the agreement. As a result, the client received four proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $350 to $1,100, all submitted to meet the client's requested deadline of over a week.
