How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Postnuptial Agreement in Missouri (July 2022)

In 2022, a personal client in Missouri sought assistance with drafting a postnuptial agreement following their recent marriage. The couple wanted to address the assets they each brought into the marriage, including a house purchased prior to the wedding and a sizable 401k. Their goal was to ensure that any new assets acquired during the marriage would be divided equally and that their pre-marital assets would be returned to their rightful owners. As a result, the client received one proposal from a licensed lawyer, with a flat fee bid of $1,200. The proposal was submitted to meet the client's requested deadline of one week, allowing them to move forward with their legal needs promptly.
