Before getting married, a couple residing in Connecticut should sign a Connecticut Prenuptial Agreement outlining all of their assets and liabilities in order to determine how they will be divided in the event of a divorce or in the event of one of the partners passing away.
Alternate Names:
If the partners executed the arrangement voluntarily and each partner obtained independent legal advice, the agreement will be deemed genuine as long as both individuals were open and honest concerning their financial records. If the couple has children, they should be aware that no arrangement that impairs a child's ability to receive critical financial aid will be upheld in court.
The agreement ought to be signed by both future newlyweds in order for the document to be enforceable under law. If any of these conditions are not met, the legitimacy of the agreement can be contested. In order to minimize the likelihood of this occurring, we would strongly recommend referring to a notary public for them to witness the signing of the document and confirm the legitimacy.
