I’m getting married but have had to postpone the wedding. Should I delay putting a prenuptial agreement in place until a later date?
No. The greater the gap between the completion of a Prenuptial Agreement and the Wedding the more likely it will be upheld by the Court. If such an Agreement is made shortly before the wedding takes place one of the parties to it could claim that they felt under pressure to sign and the Court may decline to follow it.
