- Q. Can my fiance's charged-off debt come to me once we are married?
- A: Your fiance's premarital debt is her debt, and not yours. Any debt she brings into the marriage is hers. Absent a prenuptial agreement, any debt you accumulate during the marriage will be joint.
- Q. Changing physical custody and placement from full to shared.
- A: If your situation has changed substantially since the time of the last Order, you can file a Motion to Modify Placement and Custody if the last Order was not the initial Order. Otherwise, you can also file a Petition to Enforce the existing placement schedule and request that the Court find him in contempt for not compying with the existing Court Order. You should consult with an experienced family law attorney in your area to assist you with this.
- Q. The information on my post nup was filled with the wrong information.. does that nullify the post nup?
- A: It depends. If it was only a date, that, in and by itself, may not nullify a prenuptial agreement. To be a valid prenuptial agreement, each party must make full disclosure of his or her income, assets and liabilities. They must also have adequate time to review, preferably with the assistance of counsel. The agreement must be fair at the time it is signed and then again at the time of divorce. One must also consider the date it was signed to determine if there was duress exerted upon a party to sign the agreement.
