Multiple benefits to a prenuptial agreement

Among its other benefits, a prenuptial agreement is supposed to be a way to ease the process in the event the marriage goes south. It outlines everything from finances to assets and more. Since it is a binding contract that both soon-to-be spouses must agree on, the terms of the agreement are typically set in stone yet some circumstances may invalidate the agreement.

Can a prenuptial agreement be deemed invalid?

Let’s say that one of the parties argues that the agreement was not executed voluntarily or that they were coerced or under duress when they agreed to the signing. This is one example of how the contract could be contested and, therefore, potentially deemed invalid.

Should you choose to sign a prenuptial agreement, it is imperative to provide full financial disclosures, or it may be invalidated. Furthermore, you must give your future spouse the agreement with sufficient time to contemplate and go over the terms and disclosures or the agreement will be invalidated. Additionally, if they do not sign the agreement, a person should never menace their fiancé with consequences as the threats can be used to invalidate the agreement.
