Prenuptial Agreements Legal Answers

How do I enforce a prenup if my spouse contests it?

I am divorcing my wife and she is threatening to contest our prenuptial agreement. We wrote the agreement ourselves before we married and she knew exactly what she would get and what she would be giving up if we did divorce. Now she is claiming she didn’t understand her rights and didn’t know she could contact a lawyer to review it before signing it. I believe the agreement is fair and neither of us had an attorney so there was no advantage that either of us had over the other. What do I need to show the court to have this prenup enforced in the divorce? I stand to lose a lot of money and property if this agreement is thrown out. Does it matter that she didn’t consult an attorney?

How to find a Turkish lawyer for a prenup agreement?

My fiancé and I are getting married in a few months and I would like to have her sign a prenup. I hope that my marriage lasts forever, but I want to be prepared if it doesn’t. Do I have to disclose all of my assets before we sign the agreement? I don’t really want to tell her how much I have. Also, I would like to hire a Turkish lawyer, can that one lawyer represent both my fiancé and me. My fiancé will trust whatever lawyer I pick and I’d like to avoid excessive legal fees if possible.

Are prenup agreements legal and enforceable in Washington State?

I’m engaged to be married and my fiancé and I live in Seattle. We have discussed entering into a prenup because we have both been married before and want to protect assets we have already acquired during those relationships. We also want to preserve our estates for our respective adult children. However, the research I have done on the internet suggests that Washington disfavors prenups and may not enforce them. Is that true? If not, what do we need to do to ensure that any prenup we enter into is legal in this state. Is there a test the court performs to determine whether to enforce a prenuptial?
