Frequently Asked Questions

Can a prenup be invalidated later? Yes, courts can declare prenups wholly or partially invalid if they're unconscionable or unfairly disadvantage one spouse. This happens especially with completely one-sided agreements.

Must each partner have their own attorney? Legally not always required, but strongly recommended. If both partners use the same attorney, the agreement can be more easily challenged later – one attorney cannot equally represent both interests.

Does a U.S. prenup apply abroad? It depends on the specific country. Many jurisdictions have recognition rules, but when relocating, you should have an attorney in the destination country review the agreement.

What happens to the prenup during an international divorce? With international divorces, courts determine which laws apply. A U.S. prenup can be recognized in foreign divorce proceedings if it's valid under those jurisdictions' rules.
