A Bridgeport divorce judge recently found a 1989 prenuptial agreement valid and upheld the provisions in the prenup.
The husband had been previously married and refused to re-marry unless his potential bride signed a premarital agreement. They hired separate lawyers and negotiated the terms. An agreement was eventually signed, the couple married and the world continued to spin.
Eventually the marriage soured, the parties physically separated and a divorce was filed.
During the marriage, the husband’s assets increased more than the wife’s did.
You know where this is going….
The wife claimed the prenup was invalid.
Not so fast.
The judge found that both knew the other’s finances at the time the prenup was executed. Moreover, both currently have independent means of support. And most importantly, the financial picture at the time of divorce was within the realm of their contemplation at the time they signed the prenup.
Prenup enforced.
Case over.
