A premarital agreement must be in writing and signed by both parties. It is enforceable without consideration. (Source: P.A. 86-966.)
Illinois legal requirements Both parties must voluntarily sign the prenuptial agreement. Neither party can be forced to sign an agreement. An agreement signed while or right before a wedding may not hold up in court. Further, neither party may keep property or assets hidden.

Pursuant to the statute, a prenuptial agreement can only be invalidated if a court deems that a party entered into the agreement involuntarily or that the prenuptial agreement is unconscionable.
Prenups aren't red flags because of what they entail. it's literally just a written discussion about how assets get divided in the case of divorce. you may not even get divorced but it can happen. there's nothing wrong with protecting yourself and this should be a discussion before getting married.
