Is there a waiting period for Prenuptial Agreements?
In order to be enforceable, a prospective spouse must be given at least 7 days to review a Prenuptial Agreement before signing. This is to give the prospective spouse time to seek legal advice and to review the agreement. Of course it is better practice to give the prospective spouse more time if possible, as it is not always possible to get in to see a family law attorney to review the agreement within 7 days. Also, more time may be needed if there are requested changes. Don’t wait until the last minute to submit a prenuptial agreement to your prospective bride!
