Common Questions on Prenuptial Agreements<\/h3>\n

What is a prenuptial or antenuptial agreement?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A prenuptial agreement<\/a>, also called an antenuptial agreement, is a contract between prospective spouses settling alimony and\/or property rights of parties upon divorce. A prenuptial agreement may also include provisions concerning distribution of a decedent spouse\u2019s property.<\/p>\n

What are the requirements of a prenuptial agreement?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A prenuptial agreement must be in writing. No action can be brought on an agreement made in consideration of marriage unless the agreement or some memorandum or note of it is in writing, signed by the person to be charged.<\/li>\n
  2. It must be \u201csupported by consideration,\u201d which means something of value must be exchanged. But marriage itself is sufficient consideration.<\/li>\n
  3. It must be fair and reasonable. Fairness and reasonableness are judged as of the time the agreement made, not based on conditions occurring subsequently<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  4. There must be full and truthful disclosure, or actual knowledge of one another\u2019s assets and debts, income and expenses.<\/li>\n
  5. The agreement must be entered freely and voluntarily. There can be no fraud or duress.<\/li>\n
  6. Each party must have independent legal advice, or at least a real opportunity to get independent legal advice.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
