A Connecticut prenuptial agreement is a document signed by a couple before they get married to declare each of their assets and debt in order to establish their distribution in the case of a divorce. The agreement will be considered valid if both parties signed willingly, they both had independent legal representation, and each individual accurately disclosed their financial information. No agreement will be held up in the court of law if it negatively affects a child’s rights to necessary support.
Signing Requirements (§ 46b-36c) – Both prospective spouses are legally required to sign the agreement for it to be enforceable.
