When Is a Prenuptial Agreement Invalid?
A person entering a marriage with significantly more property, assets, or career prospects than their partner may consider asking their significant other to sign a prenuptial agreement. These agreements establish what will happen to the couple if a divorce occurs, detailing who will keep certain valuable pieces of property or assets. However, some prenuptial agreements are invalid because of the circumstances of their signing or the provisions that they contain.

When Can Consent Be Challenged?
A prenuptial agreement generally will not be enforced if someone was coerced into signing the document or was unaware of what the document contained. A prenuptial agreement signed under the following conditions may be rendered invalid:
- If a person was forced to sign the document
- If a person was not mentally capable of making the decision to sign
- If a person did not understand the terms of the document
When in doubt, it is advisable for anyone to review a prenuptial agreement with an attorney before signing.
