Why Clients Trust Us
Marriage is both a personal and financial partnership. While no one enters a marriage expecting it to end, it’s wise to plan for the future — whatever it may hold. A prenuptial or postnuptial agreement can provide clarity, protect assets, and prevent costly disputes if a separation or divorce ever occurs.
At King & Rowe, Attorneys at Law, our Hickory family law attorneys help individuals and couples create fair, enforceable agreements that promote security, transparency, and peace of mind.
What Is a Prenuptial Agreement?
