Modifying Your Prenuptial Agreement: How To
Obtaining a modification of your prenuptial agreement is a simple process given you and your spouse’s lives have changed and you are ready to make the adjustment together. The process will include a request for modification which will require a signed agreement by both you and your spouse stating that you agree to the modification.
However, if you are looking to modify your prenup due to a more serious reason, such as your spouse violating a term of your prenuptial agreement, the process will be a bit different. It is highly recommended that you gain the assistance of a knowledgeable and understanding New Jersey family law attorney to complete this process.
