Is A Pre-Nup Always Binding?
No. A premarital agreement (or pre-nup) is voidable at the election of a party who was influenced by fraud, duress, or a lack of disclosure of one's assets.
The courts are not quick to find "fraud" or "duress," however. For example, to establish fraud, it is usually not enough if one party says: "my spouse said he (or she) wouldn't marry me unless I signed this." We can discus with you the ways to help ensure that your agreement will be enforceable.
Overall, it is very important to disclose all of one's pre-marital assets in writing prior to the signing of a premarital agreement. It is also important that one spouse avoid using undue pressure to entice the other spouse to enter into the agreement.
