When a small retail shop expands to a second location during a marriage, courts often view that physical expansion as marital property unless a prenuptial agreement explicitly states otherwise.
My client, Kathy*, wanted to protect her flagship store before marrying her long-time partner. I drafted a prenup designating her original shop and future retail expansions as separate assets, allowing her to open a Decatur branch with zero stress.
My focus on keeping families together makes protecting legacy assets second nature to me.
I’m a great referral for a boutique owner. You'll see her updating window displays for every event and festival.
She wants to focus on serving her shoppers and expanding her creative vision.
Ask her, "What's your favorite holiday decorating theme?”
