Prenuptial Agreements and Hope

 On July 28, 2008 the New York Law Journal published a fascinating article by Susan M. Moss, Daniel Z. Rivlin and Vanessa L. Keegan-Natola called “YouTube Aside, The Law On Prenups”.  The article covered a great deal of topics relating to prenuptial agreements, but one specifically caught our eye here at Leeds Morelli & Brown P.C. As part of Leeds Morelli and Brown P.C.’s continuing commitment to the law, we wanted to share this information with our friends and neighbors in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Nassau and Suffolk Counties. 
 Prenuptial agreements are contracts that spouses sign before they get married.  The agreement governs the division of assets in the event of a divorce.  Like any contract there is a limited window where the agreement can be challenged because it is unfair.  However, the authors of this article point out that recent New York Law modifies prenuptial agreements to allow a challenge after the marriage ends.  Even if the statute of limitations to challenge a regular contract has already run, the statute of limitations to challenge prenuptial agreements does not begin to run until the divorce action begins.
If you are facing a divorce proceeding, it is important to hire lawyers that keep up with the ever changing nature of the law.  The attorneys at the law firm of Leeds Morelli & Brown P.C. pledge to serve our clients by keeping abreast of this and other legal issues.  For any questions, contact an attorney at the Leeds Morelli & Brown P.C. law firm for a free consultation at 1-888-556-2529.
