Drafting a Valid Prenuptial Agreement
Marital agreements are contracts. Like any contract, they are subject to being challenged as invalid for any number of reasons. Because of that, there are certain rules that should be followed to increase the likelihood that a prenuptial agreement or marriage contract will be enforceable if the marriage ends in divorce.
- There must be a full disclosure of income, assets and other financial information by both parties
- The agreement cannot be coerced or made under duress (threats not to marry someone in order to get them to sign and agreements sought shortly before the wedding raise red flags for courts)
- Both parties should by represented by separate attorneys
As experienced legal professionals, we know what the law requires and take a methodical, thorough approach to negotiating and creating these contracts.
