Prenuptial Agreements — Frequently Asked Questions

Is a prenuptial agreement enforceable in Virginia? +
Yes, if it meets legal requirements: signed voluntarily by both parties, in writing, with full and fair disclosure of assets and debts. Having independent legal counsel for each party significantly strengthens enforceability.

Do I need a prenuptial agreement? +
A prenuptial agreement is particularly valuable if either party has significant assets, a business, children from a prior relationship, substantial debt, or family wealth to protect. Ms. Khan can help you assess whether one makes sense.

Can a prenuptial agreement cover child custody? +
No. Virginia courts will not enforce prenuptial provisions that attempt to predetermine child custody or child support. These matters are always decided based on the best interests of the child at the time of the divorce.

How far in advance should we start? +
At least 3 months before the wedding. Last-minute agreements are far more vulnerable to legal challenges on the grounds of duress. Both parties need time to review with independent counsel.

Can a prenuptial agreement be challenged? +
Yes, on grounds of fraud, duress, lack of disclosure, or unconscionability. A well-drafted agreement with proper process significantly reduces this risk.
