Case Overview: The client, who possessed significant business interests and real estate prior to marriage, faced a legal challenge from their spouse during divorce proceedings regarding their prenuptial agreement. The spouse claimed the agreement was invalid, alleging they lacked independent legal counsel at the time and signed under duress just before the wedding.
Song Law Firm’s Strategic Solution: Our team meticulously reconstructed the circumstances surrounding the agreement’s execution:
-
Proving Procedural Fairness: We provided evidence that both parties were represented by independent counsel and established a clear timeline showing a sufficient reflection period before signing.
-
Full Financial Disclosure: We submitted documentation proving that a comprehensive list of assets was provided to the spouse, ensuring transparency.
-
Refuting Duress: We demonstrated that the gap between the signing and the wedding date allowed the spouse ample opportunity to review or negotiate, negating claims of coercion.
Success Result: The court upheld the validity of the prenuptial agreement in its entirety. As a result, the client’s pre-marital assets and their appreciation during the marriage were fully protected according to the contract, avoiding a costly and prolonged trial.
