Does "Fairness" Matter?
The law does not require that the agreement
be "fair" toward your future spouse. Rather,
the courts assume that men and women are
intelligent decision makers. As such, they are
free to enter into agreements that may or
may not seem "fair" in hindsight. In other
words, the courts no longer assume that
women are feeble. To the contrary, the
courts assume that all adult individuals of
sound mind and body (regardless of genger)
are capable of obtaining higher education,
getting an advanced earning capacity and,
yes, entering into a premarial agreement
absent special protection from the courts.

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 or duress. The courts are
not quick to find "fraud" or "duress, however.
It is very important to disclose all of one's
pre-marital assets via a written document
attached to the premarital agreement prior to
signing the premarital agreement. It is also
important that one spouse avoid using undue
pressure to entice the other spouse to enter
into the agreement.
