Premarital Agreement

Enforcing a Premarital Agreement

Premarital agreements are binding legal documents. They are typically enforceable without consideration, meaning the court will enforce the agreement even if there is nothing of value exchanged for one party. There are a few instances in which a premarital agreement can be nullified. Many of these cases involve the circumstances around the signing of the agreement. Some of the most common reasons for nullification include:

  • A party did not sign the agreement voluntarily
  • A party was not provided fair and reasonable disclosure before signing
  • A spouse did not have, or reasonably could not have, adequate knowledge of the property
  • A party did not voluntarily and expressly waive any right to disclosure of the property or financial obligations

These are just a few examples of cases that would legally nullify a premarital agreement. Void marriages also negate some aspects of a premarital agreement. If a marriage is determined to be void, the premarital agreement is only enforceable to the extent required to avoid an inequitable result.

  • "The divorce process is not an easy one, but I always felt fully supported, informed, and guided by Chris and the staff. Chris always laid out the options, made me aware of the risks, and provided me with recommendations, but he also gave me the flexibility to work out things with my ex where I could, to speed up the process and avoid some legal expenses. I highly recommend Chris for family law representation. ”
