Bill > SB0809

This bill enacts the Uniform Premarital and Marital Agreements Act, which determines how and when premarital and marital agreements are enforced. Key provisions include defining important terms like "marital agreement" and "premarital agreement," setting requirements for the agreement to be valid and enforceable (e.g., must be in writing and signed by both parties), and outlining circumstances under which an agreement may be deemed unenforceable, such as if a party's consent was involuntary or they did not have access to independent legal counsel. The bill also specifies that the agreement cannot adversely affect a child's right to support or limit remedies for domestic violence victims, and that a court may refuse to enforce unconscionable terms or terms that would result in substantial hardship due to a material change in circumstances.
