Top Rated Evesham Township Family Law Attorneys Help Clients Move Forward After Divorce in New Jersey

Just as every marriage and couple is unique, every single divorce is unique and presents its own issues and complications.

Although every divorce presents complications, with high-quality legal representation, the divorce proceedings themselves do not need to be complicated or lengthy.

Impact of a Prenuptial or Postnuptial Agreement on Your Evesham Township Divorce Proceedings

Prenuptial agreements, also known as premarital agreements, are contracts entered into before two individuals decide to legally marry. Postnuptial agreements, also known as antenuptial or postmarital agreements, are contracts entered into between a married couple after they have married. Both types of agreements typically address what will happen if the couples decide to divorce, and may contain terms governing:

• Alimony and spousal support,
• Awards of specific assets,
• Property division in divorce,
• The parties’ rights to transfer, assign or encumber property during marriage, and
• Choice of law issues.

While prenuptial agreements are more common, two spouses may enter into a postnuptial agreement for a variety of reasons, including situations where the marriage was spontaneous or the parties’ financial positions changed dramatically following the marriage.

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are generally enforceable under New Jersey law but may be challenged in certain specific circumstances. For example, the validity of the agreement may be challenged if:

• One party was not provided with full disclosure of the other party’s financial circumstances when the agreement was entered into,
• One party was not provided with full disclosure, and did not waive his or her right to such disclosure beyond what was provided,
• Full disclosure was lacking, and the other party did not actually know, or could not reasonably have known, the full financial situation of the other party,
• One party did not consult with competent legal counsel with respect to the agreement and did not expressly waive his or her right to such counsel.

New Jersey law has changed in recent years so that prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can no longer be challenged on the grounds that they are unconscionable at the time of enforcement (such as where one spouse would not have adequate support if the terms of the agreement were enforced). This new rule only applies to newer agreements though—meaning that the law is not retroactive, so does not cover agreements entered into before it was passed.
