No matter your marital or relationship status, it’s wise to consider future property distribution. While marital arrangements like postnuptial agreements are often associated with divorce, their purpose extends beyond that scenario. Prenuptial & postnuptial agreements ensure fair distribution of property and assets if one spouse dies, becomes incapacitated, or if there are children involved. At Angela C. Larkins, Attorney at Law, we’re here to answer your questions and guide you through the process of forming these important agreements.
As a skilled mediator and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®, Attorney Larkins offers in-depth experience with the division of:
Whether you need a new agreement drafted or an existing agreement adjusted, our law firm works diligently to establish reasonable settlements for both parties. Contact us today for a consultation on your family law case.

A postnuptial agreement can be established at any point during your marriage, whether you’ve been married for a month or 25 years. This agreement is not a precursor to divorce; it allows you to have a say in asset and property division if your marriage ends. A postnuptial agreement also protects the inheritance rights of children from a previous marriage, preventing potential legal battles over property between your spouse and adult children after your death. Contact Attorney Larkins to learn more about setting up a postnuptial agreement.
It depends on what type of divorce you are pursuing. If both parties are in agreement on how assets and debts will be split, you are likely eligible for our uncontested divorce. Uncontested divorces run between $2,000 and $3,000 dollars, occasionally more if you need extra documents like QDROS. Call us today for a consultation and a personalized quote.
Contested divorces happen when there is disagreement between how to split assets or debts, or there other arguments about the case. These run significantly higher. A typical starting retainer can be between $3,000 and $5,000 but will need to be replenished as your case progresses. Every contested divorce is different, but usually requires a minimum of $10,000 or a significantly higher maximum.
Every firm has different procedures. Here at Angela C. Larkins, Attorney at Law, our consultations are a flat fee of $200. Your appointment will last one hour, during which you will explain your situation to Angela and she will give you some preliminary information and advice. We offer consultations in-person, via phone call, or via Zoom meeting. If you already have documents associated with your case (Summons, Final Decrees, Financial Documents, etc.) you are more than welcome to bring them with you for Angela to review during your time together. At the end of your consultation, Angela will quote you either a flat fee or a retainer depending on your unique situation. After, you may choose to retain Angela as your legal representative or you may seek other representation more suited to your needs.
While you are welcome to bring almost anyone with you to your consultation, please know that only you, the Client, are protected by Attorney-Client privilege. All information disclosed to a third party is no longer protected. We welcome and understand that Clients often need moral support, but we also hold your safety and confidentiality as a top priority.
Please do not bring your other party with you, even if you are having an amicable divorce. Angela can only represent one party in each case. If both parties want to speak with her, please look into our mediation services as an alternative to consultations or representation. We do not have child care services available during your consultation. All children must be of an appropriate age to sit in the conference room with you during your session.
All clients, new or returning, can speak with Angela on an appointment-only basis. Please reach out to us at (423) 648-6622 or the email below to schedule an appointment. We look forward to speaking with you!
