A New Jersey prenuptial agreement is drafted by a couple before marriage to plan for a possible divorce, death of a spouse, or legal separation. When preparing the agreement, each party will identify their premarital property and provide instructions on how their assets shall be divided if the marriage were to end.

Signing Requirements

Both parties must sign the written agreement; a notary acknowledgment isn’t legally required but still recommended.[1]
