Legally Wed

Weddings abound with legal issues that can impede a marriage from taking place, or cost time and money you'd rather spend on the wedding.

Lawyers get married, too. And when a lawyer gets married, it's not just a wedding -- it's a challenge to conquer the obstacle course of legal contracts and requirements. Every law school hypothetical and bar exam question comes rushing back: contracts, constitutional law, marital law, property. We can't help but notice these issues. To us, this is fun because we are not overwhelmed or intimidated by the problems or the process. We understand how to dot the i's, cross the t's, and minimize expenses and risks.

When the lawyer's wedding day is over, what can be done with all this useful information and experience? Share it!

This blog aims to address common legal issues surrounding weddings and serve as a meeting place for people to discuss their experiences.

While the author of this blog is a lawyer, this blog does not create an attorney-client relationship or an attorney-client privilege, provide individual legal advice, or provide information regarding every jurisdiction.
