Can You Cancel A Prenuptial Agreement?
It’s unlikely that anyone thinks of divorce as they walk down the aisle on their wedding day, but nearly half of all marriages end in divorce. For this reason, it’s unsurprising that more couples are signing prenuptial agreements and working out arrangements ahead of time. A prenuptial agreement allows couples to clearly establish their rights before marriage and enables them to secure their assets, assure their income, and protect their business. While a prenuptial agreement is a legally binding contract, there are several reasons why it may not hold up in court. The law is highly complex, and several factors could nullify this contract.
Contacting a divorce lawyer is the first step to canceling or nullifying a prenup. Here are some reasons why a prenuptial agreement may be invalid:
- No Written Agreement – A verbal agreement is invalid in court. You must write out the provisions in your contract and sign it to secure an agreement.
- Pressure to Sign – Both spouses must enter into the premarital contract of their own free will, and any coercion negates the agreement.
- False or Incomplete Information – When you sign a prenup, you must reveal the value of your assets, income, and liabilities. Failure to disclose important information or lying will put the other party at a disadvantage. In the event of a divorce, false or incomplete details could negate the contract.
