Am
I bound by the prenuptial agreement if I change my mind
later?
In
all likelihood, yes, you will be bound by a pre nuptial
agreement. A prenuptial agreement is an enforceable contract.
Unless there is some very good reason for a judge to let
you reject or modify the deal that you made, you are likely
to be bound by it even if you later decide that it was a
bad deal.
If,
however, your circumstances change dramatically in a way
that could not have reasonably been anticipated - such as
a serious illness - the judge might require your spouse
to help you despite the premarital agreement. That will
depend upon the law of your state and on how drastic the
change of circumstances is and how unlikely it was that
your situation would change. For example, it is much less
likely that unexpected health problems would arise in a
30 year-old than in a 78 year-old. For more information,
consult with a family law attorney in your area.
