Prenuptial Agreement Uniform Form

Q: Can I write a prenup myself?

Sure you COULD, but no you SHOULDN&#039;T. It will be nearly impossible to uphold in court a prenup that you wrote yourself. Both of you should have counsel and there should be full and complete financial disclosure between the two of you.

Q: What items are not necessary to include in a prenup?

A prenup can&#039;t include personal preferences, such as who has what chores, where to spend the holidays, whose name to use, details about child rearing, or what relationship to have with certain relatives. Prenuptial agreements are designed to address financially based issues.

A prenup can't include personal preferences, such as who has what chores, where to spend the holidays, whose name to use, details about child rearing, or what relationship to have with certain relatives. Prenuptial agreements are designed to address financially based issues.

So, what does that mean? A fair prenup should respectfully safeguard and shield the assets of both parties. To achieve this, there must be a full and complete disclosure of all assets, debts, and liabilities when the contract is drafted. This includes all investments, real estate, and financial obligations.

Sometimes there are areas of law about which Uniform Acts are written and adopted by the various states. Premarital Agreements is such an area of law. The NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF COMMISSIONERS ON UNIFORM STATE LAWS adopted the final version of the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act in 1983. Since that date, the act, as modified by the various states, has been adopted in the following states: Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Texas, Utah and Virginia. At the heart of the act is the provision which provides that such an agreement is generally valid if it is in writing and sets forth the factors to consider if the agreement is challenged.

Definitions: As used in this chapter, unless the context otherwise requires:

1. "Premarital agreement" means an agreement between prospective spouses made in contemplation of marriage and to be effective upon marriage.

(Added to NRS by 1989, 1003) NRS 123A.040

Content:

1. Parties to a premarital agreement may contract with respect to:

(a) The rights and obligations of each of the parties in any of the property of either or both of them whenever and wherever acquired or located;

(3) Did not have, or reasonably could not have had, an adequate knowledge of the property or financial obligations of the other party.

2. If a provision of a premarital agreement modifies or eliminates alimony or support or maintenance of a spouse, and that modification or elimination causes one party to the agreement to be eligible for support under a program of public assistance at the time of separation or marital dissolution, a court, notwithstanding the terms of the agreement, may require the other party to provide support to the extent necessary to avoid that eligibility.

3. An issue of unconscionability of a premarital agreement shall be decided by the court as a matter of law. (Added to NRS by 1989, 1004) NRS 123A.080

Limitation of actions: Any statute of limitations applicable to an action asserting a claim for relief under a premarital agreement is tolled during the marriage of the parties to the agreement. However, equitable defenses limiting the time for enforcement, including laches and estoppel, are available to either party. (Added to NRS by 1989, 1004) NRS 123A.100
