What Is Considered a Prenuptial Agreement in CT? 

A prenuptial agreement is a legal contract made before marriage that allows couples to define how they will handle property, debts, and financial matters in the event of divorce or death. Connecticut law gives couples the right to use prenups to clarify these topics, supporting peace of mind for both parties as they enter marriage.

Family courts in New Haven review prenuptial agreements during divorce or probate cases. Connecticut follows the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act, which requires certain standards for validity: full financial disclosure, voluntary agreement, a fair process, and an agreement that is not excessively one-sided at enforcement. Properly drafted agreements help reduce conflict and uncertainty should circumstances change in the future. Each prenup reflects the needs and goals unique to the couple. In a diverse city like New Haven, some individuals seek to secure inheritance rights, shield business interests, or simply set financial expectations. 

What to Expect in the Prenuptial Agreement Process in New Haven

The typical process involves the following steps:

  • Initial consultation: Share your objectives, ask questions, and learn what a prenup can and cannot address under Connecticut law.
  • Gathering information: Both partners share a full and accurate overview of assets, debts, and income. Full disclosure is essential to the agreement’s enforceability.
  • Drafting the agreement: After clarifying your wishes, Attorney Piscatelli drafts an agreement in accordance with Connecticut requirements.
  • Review & negotiation: Both individuals review the document, propose changes, or consult outside counsel if desired, ensuring the agreement feels fair and voluntary.
  • Finalizing & signing: Both parties sign the prenup well in advance of the wedding, reducing the risk of challenges later on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are prenuptial agreements enforceable in Connecticut?

Connecticut courts generally enforce prenuptial agreements if both parties disclose assets, sign voluntarily, and the terms are fair at the time of enforcement. Each case is unique, and local courts will review agreements carefully.

What can a prenuptial agreement cover?

Prenups typically address property division, spousal support, debt allocation, and rights related to certain assets or inheritances. Child custody and support provisions are not enforceable through prenuptial agreements in Connecticut.

How early should I prepare a prenuptial agreement before marriage?

Begin the process several months before your wedding. Finalizing well in advance shows both parties made decisions freely, which helps prevent future disputes.

Do both parties need separate lawyers?

While Connecticut law does not require each party to have separate attorneys, having independent legal counsel can help strengthen the agreement’s fairness and enforceability in court.

Can a prenuptial agreement be changed after marriage?

Yes. Couples can modify the terms after marriage, but must do so in writing and with the consent of both parties, following legal standards in Connecticut.
