As the parent(s) of someone getting married, you have a lot at stake. In fact, you might have more at stake, than you ever realized. Your child’s wedding hopefully is a wonderful time for you to enjoy, especially if the wedding is with your blessing or meets your approval. Whether or not you are excited about your new son or daughter in law, it is imperative that you understand what this marriage means for you as a parent, and then potentially a grandparent.

A wedding is a starry-eyed time for the bride and groom. We realize that, and our products for the Bride and Groom are tailored to make sure they do go through some of the tougher issues and questions with their significant other that someone in love might otherwise skip over. We try to do the same for you, their parents, with our products and services. We have products and services specifically tailored with you in mind.

Surely you have heard horror stories of what can happen in marriage. Perhaps you have even been through such trying times yourself, or perhaps you have been through a divorce, or knows of someone who may have been. While an in-law actually has rather limited legal status to you, it is a tremendous status change for your child getting married, and that affects you and your planning for your child.

In the materials you will find sections like, “don’t fall into the parent traps”, and “the biggest mistakes a parent can make are when they are just trying to help”. Our family law attorneys have seen a lot of situations over the years that perhaps could have been avoided if people better understood the law in the first place. This is our goal here--that you are more informed, and are have a better understanding of the law and the ramifications of the decisions you make. We also touch on a few considerations of being grandparents of which you may not have been aware.

Every wedding is followed by a marriage. Every marriage affects the families on both sides of it. You should consider specifically how this will or might affect your estate planning, insurance, and other considerations. Consider our Parent packet or a legal conference with one of our approved experienced family law attorneys tailored to you, the parent. Best of all, if you buy a Bride or Groom packet or a consultation for him or her as a gift – you get the Parent Packet for FREE.
