A Kansas prenuptial agreement is a contract signed prior to marriage that enables two potential spouses to clarify each party’s rights and obligations with regard to shared and independently-owned property. The agreement relays the extent to which each individual can control the assets and property relayed therein, and it provides a blueprint for how the property is to be divided in the case of a separation. No provision relayed in the premarital agreement can adversely affect the right of a child to support.
Signing Requirements (§ 23-2403) – The contract isn’t valid unless both parties have signed it.
