Слайд 1CAN A PREMARITAL AGREEMENT EVER BE INVALID?
A Guide to Problems with

Premarital Agreements

Слайд 2A Premarital Agreement Is A Contract


Слайд 3Premarital agreements
are contracts entered into
by a husband and a

wife in consideration of marriage

Слайд 4The premarital agreement must be written, as oral agreements are not

going to be enforced by a court

Слайд 5You must follow all rules for
drafting a premarital agreement
and

contract in your state for the premarital agreement to be considered valid

Слайд 6If there is a problem in the creation or the terms

of the premarital agreement, it can
be declared invalid

Слайд 7
Premarital Agreements Can Be Invalidated in Whole or in Part


Слайд 8If a couple is divorcing and one spouse believes the premarital

agreement should not be enforced, he or she can raise arguments to the court explaining why the premarital agreement should be invalidated

Слайд 9The court can invalidate or refuse to enforce certain provisions of

the contract, such as when there is a problem with just one clause or part

Слайд 10The court can also invalidate
the entire agreement if there
is

a problem in the creation
of the contract

Слайд 11A Premarital Agreement Can be Invalidated Due to Fraud


Слайд 12Both parties must enter into
the premarital agreement
knowing the material

facts

Слайд 13If one spouse hid information
about assets, income or other relevant

issues, then the
premarital agreement can be invalidated as a result of fraud

Слайд 14If one spouse lied or was
dishonest, the agreement can also

be invalidated due to the fraud

Слайд 15A Premarital Agreement Can Be Invalidated if it Was Signed Under

Duress

Слайд 16Each spouse must voluntarily
enter into the premarital agreement of his

or her own free will

Слайд 17If one spouse felt forced or coerced into signing the agreement,

the agreement can be invalidated

Слайд 18Presenting the agreement
with limited time to review,
or with threats

that the imminent marriage will be called off if not signed, can all be considered examples of duress

Слайд 19A Premarital Agreement Can Be Invalidated if the Terms are Unconscionable



Слайд 20If the terms of the premarital agreement are grossly one-sided and

unfair, the premarital agreement can be invalidated
under certain circumstances

Слайд 21A premarital agreement
is most likely to be invalidated because it

is unconscionable if
one party had all of the power in
the drafting and signing of the agreement and the terms
are skewed heavily in that
person’s favor

Слайд 22Both parties should be
represented by their own attorneys in the

writing of the agreement to ensure their rights are protected and the terms are fair

Слайд 23Provisions (or the whole agreement) Can Be Invalidated If The Provisions

Are Against Public Policy

Слайд 24A court will not enforce a contract that goes against public

policy

Слайд 25For example, provisions of a premarital agreement in which one spouse

waives child support are void

Слайд 26These provisions will not be enforced because children deserve to be

supported by both of their parents. One parent cannot waive this right on behalf of a child

Слайд 27Provisions Can Be Invalidated if They Are Ridiculous and/or Difficult For

the Court to Enforce

Слайд 28The court will not enforce certain provisions of premarital agreements if

doing so would be difficult or ridiculous

Слайд 29For example, if the agreement contains clauses related to how often

your in-laws are allowed to visit or as to how often you must engage in marital relations, the court is not likely to enforce these contractual provisions

Слайд 30Agreements Can Be Invalidated if They Are Poorly Drafted


Слайд 31If the contract does not comply with all requirements for a

premarital agreement in your state, the court will not enforce it

Слайд 32If the contract provisions
are vague or poorly written and
the

court cannot interpret the contract accurately, the court may not enforce the unclear terms

Слайд 33An Attorney Can Help


Слайд 34An attorney should be
consulted when drafting a premarital agreement to

ensure
it is enforceable

Слайд 35If there is a dispute over whether an agreement is valid

and enforceable during the divorce process, both parties should be represented by a lawyer who can help them to make arguments for their position to the court
