How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Review a Postnuptial Agreement in New York (October 2025)

In 2025, a personal client in New York sought assistance with the review of a postnuptial agreement drafted by another lawyer. The client was primarily concerned about potential earnings lost if they paused their career to start a family, as well as ensuring that critical aspects related to post-divorce lifestyle and any future financial arrangements, including debt and property, were clearly addressed. They specified that they do not have significant assets and indicated that their priorities were focused on safeguarding their future interests. As a result, the client received three proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $399 to $1,000. All proposals were submitted to meet the client’s requested deadline, which was over a week.
