How To Create A Prenuptial Agreement In Texas
A valid prenuptial agreement must be in accordance with the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act to be legally enforceable. The following is required for prenups:
- Full disclosure of assets, debts, and liabilities. Without complete transparency, a judge can void your prenup.
- It must also be drafted well before the wedding date, as it can be considered void if one of the spouses felt pressured to sign.
- It does not have to be supported by consideration
- The terms of the agreement must be fair for both sides, as a judge can void the prenup if it looks lopsided
- Must not been drafted while either spouse was under duress
- If one party has hired an attorney to help them draft their side of the agreement, and the other party declines legal representation, then he or she will have to include a clause in the prenup waiving their rights.
It is of paramount importance for each party to retain his or her own legal counsel to draft and review the agreement before finalizing the document.
