THE THIRD OF THE THREE P'S:

In February 2006, Dawn Elaine Bowie, Esq. published an article in Washington Woman, titled, "The Three P's". In that article, Ms. Bowie suggested that, in order to improve the chances of success in marriage, couples should engage in (1) P (Pre-marital counseling); (2) Patience; and (3) Prenuptial Agreements, to avoid much of the distress many couples face during divorce.

Maryland Family Law Firm, LLC. remains committed to helping couples seeking to ensure a solid, legal foundation to marriage by ensuring their future interests (and those of their children and extended families) are protected by premarital agreements.

Premarital agreements can cover more than just identification and disposition of existing non-marital assets. They can also set out how disputes are to be resolved (requiring mediation prior to, and sometimes, in place of, litigation) and how to identify and allocate the income a couple accrues during a marriage.

Too many couples think of pre-marital agreements as some kind of pre-divorce planning, but especially when combined with pre-marital counseling and the time required to develop patience in an intimate partnership, they can be a way to assure that marriage is entered into with the maturity and dignity that the commitment of marriage deserves.
