FAQ
In general, you should expect that a postnuptial agreement will receive scrutiny from the court before it decides to enforce the agreement. As your family law attorney would advise you, these agreements are not usually signed under the best of circumstances in the marriage.
Per , since postnuptial agreements generally handle the same issues that prenuptial agreements address, the same circumstances that can cause a court to void part or all of a prenuptial agreement also apply to a postnuptial. Like a prenuptial, a postnuptial agreement should be in written form.
One other scenario is that a prenuptial agreement is deemed not enforceable in Pennsylvania if the party opposing the agreement can establish, by clear and convincing evidence that the party did not execute the agreement voluntarily. Lack of full disclosure of assets is also a reason that a prenup can be voided.
Postnuptial agreements are generally enforceable if the parties of the document adhere to all state laws regarding inheritance, child custody, visitation and monetary support if a divorce does occur.This may also come with a will or other legal document.
A final note: In Pennsylvania, postnuptial agreements clearly are enforceable so long as the statutory requirements of a marital agreement are met. These requirements are set forth with specificity in the Pennsylvania Divorce Code.
What is a revocation hearing? A hearing held for parolees who committed a criminal act while on parole or while delinquent on parole and are convicted or found guilty by a judge or jury, OR the parolee pleads guilty or no contest in a court of record of a crime punishable by imprisonment.
If you decide that you no longer want or need a Power of Attorney, or if you change your mind about who your agent is, you can terminate a Power of Attorney by giving written notice to your agent. You should also give notice to your bank, your doctor, or anyone else who got a copy of your Power of Attorney.
If a bail is revoked, there is a chance that the bail bondsman may be unable to get their money back. Upon revocation, the defendant can decide to go to the court and explain why his bail should not be revoked. The judge will then make a decision if the court will give them back the money.
While any new power of attorney should state that old powers of attorney are revoked, you should also put the revocation in writing. The revocation should include your name, a statement that you are of sound mind, and your wish to revoke the power of attorney.
