Premarital Agreements
- Premarital agreements must be in writing and signed by both parties, are enforceable without consideration.
- Agreements become effective upon marriage.
- Agreements are unenforceable if a party proves:
- They did not execute the agreement voluntarily.
- The agreement was unconscionable when executed. This occurs if the party:
- Did not receive fair and reasonable disclosure of the other party's property or finances.
- Did not voluntarily and expressly waive, in writing, any right to disclosure beyond what was provided.
- Did not have, or reasonably could not have had, adequate knowledge of the other party's property or finances.
- If a premarital agreement modifies or eliminates spousal support and the modification/elimination makes one party eligible for public assistance, a court may require the other party to provide support.
- Unconscionability is determined by the court, as a matter of law.
- If a marriage is deemed void, the agreement is enforceable only to avoid inequitable results.
