Historically in the State of Washington prenuptial
agreements have been mostly looked at unfavorably as a matter of public
policy. Many people saw them as
something that turned a sacred bond between two people as nothing more than a
simple financial agreement. That
rendered them distasteful to some.
Then, things began to change in the late 60’s. The courts slowly began to realize that for
all intents and purposes a marriage IS more or less a financial agreement! As a result, the courts began to recognize
them as binding legal documents in Washington State and more and more attorneys
began drafting them.
Today, the practice is common. One person who is adept at the practice of
drafting a binding prenuptial agreement is Spokane family attorney Craig
Mason. Attorney Mason remembers a time
when this practice was quite rare, but now, quite common. Arrange an appointment at his office located
