Q: Questions about incorporating post nupt terms into divorce
I am filing divorce pro se, and cannot find how to incorporate this agreement into the divorce. The alimony is for a specified amount of money for a specified amount of time, regardless of remarriage/cohabitation status - due to his physical abuse and infidelity. All the forms I have access to don't have that as an option for alimony. How do I incorporate that?
A: There isn't going to be a form that allows you to incorporate the post nup into the divorce filing. You have to seek to have it enforced, and he has the option to try to refute that it is unenforceable. This isn't the kind of divorce that you should try to do on your own. You should consult an experienced family law attorney to assist you.

A: I agree. You need to speak with an experienced attorney who can do this the right way. If you do not properly incorporate this, you may miss out on alimony or property you are entitled to and it may not be possible to fix it later.
