We can't give you specific advice on your case unless you retain us (and we'd be happy to have you come into the office to discuss taking you on as a client). Otherwise, what is written here is purely for informational purposes for people interested in reading about divorce and family law in New Jersey and is not legal advice or counsel.

I recently posted on prenuptial agreement. I then came across a great summary of the case that illustrates the need to have competent legal counsel representing you before signing a pre-nup.

The women in the case ended up on the losing end of a challenge to the prenup. The court took into account a number of factors that weren’t relevant to her ability to adequately assess the situation. It shouldn’t have mattered whether she was a real estate agent or a securities lawyer - and it certainly wasn’t relevant that her husband was a millionaire. Either way, by signing a pre-nup the day before the wedding, without a lawyer, she ended in the worst position of all.
