Frequently Asked Questions
Can my partner and I add an agreement regarding the custody of our children in our prenuptial or postnuptial agreement?
Custody arrangements are decided based on the best interests of the child, and these decisions cannot be predetermined in a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement. Therefore, any custody agreements addressed in the prenuptial or postnuptial agreement won’t be enforceable.
Can I enter into a postnuptial agreement with my spouse after a divorce case has been filed?
A postnuptial agreement is not enforceable if it is signed after either party has filed for divorce or legal separation with the Court.
