Grand Rapids Postnuptial Agreement Lawyer
Protect Your Future with a Postnuptial Agreement
Have you recently gotten married or are you planning to tie the knot soon? If so, you may want to consider the benefits of a postnuptial agreement. A postnuptial agreement is a contract entered into by a couple after they have gotten married that details how assets will be divided in the event of a divorce.
A postnuptial agreement allows you to plan for the future and protect your financial interests in the event of a divorce. It is important to note that Michigan law only recognizes postnuptial agreements if the couple is already married. If you are planning to get married, you should definitely consult with a lawyer about a prenuptial agreement.

"Lee Coppage is amazing!"Lee Coppage is an absolute Lion in court! When I first saw this fresh-faced and young Attorney I had a moment of doubt until I heard him speak in Court and to opposing Attorney. He was fearless, articulate, forceful, and didn't hesitate to make himself heard. After 3 years of court dates, I believe this circus would have continued if not for him. Thank you Lee, you are my hero!!!- Millie

"My Lawyer is Sharper than Yours!"I am thrilled to be able to leave a rave review of my attorney Lee Coppage. Not only was he sharply dressed and his appearance spoke business but his expertise and manner in which he takes over a courtroom was amazing. I was always satisfied to know that he would definitely get my point across and my voice would be heard through him (loud and clear) every single court appearance. He helped guide me through the worse time of my adult life. I was emotionally flustered and extremely concerned about my children and their wellbeing. Lee was supportive, knowledgeable and extremely patient with me. Several times I had emotional breakdowns and the staff in Mr. Crowe's office was very respectful and tolerated everything. It was a long year for me but I am proud to say that I made the best decision by hiring the office of Wayne Crowe Jr and blessed by having Lee represent me in court during this custody battle. I am extremely satisfied with the service provided to me.- Janet Caraballo
