Q: Before we got married, my spouse and I disclosed our financial assets
and I am employed and make a very good income and I have a son that is a minor from a previous marriage to whom I would like to transfer my assets for his future and I will rely on my income that I am earning now. I am not planning on getting a divorce, but in case my husband and I will get to divorce, will there be an issue that I transferred everything I made before marriage to my son? We do have a prenup and what is mine is mine and what is his is his, but if I transfer those before marriage assets to my son now and let's say my husband and I divorce in 10-15 years, will there be a problem, since we had financial disclosure?
A: Read the prenuptial agreement carefully. If in fact it says what is yours is yours then you can transfer it whenever you choose to whomever you choose. You may want to speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
