In North Carolina, it is possible to nullify a prenuptial agreement. As stated in G.S. § 52B-7, which is part of the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act, part or all of a prenuptial agreement may be nullified under particular circumstances. Such circumstances include but are not limited to the following:
- One party was forced to sign the agreement against their will.
- One party did not know or was not informed of the full extent of the other party’s assets.
- The terms of the agreement would leave one party so financially unstable that they would be eligible for any form of public assistance.

Evaluate Your Case
Everyone’s circumstances are different, so there is no “one size fits all” approach to nullifying or revoking prenuptial agreements. It is a good idea to let the family law team at our office help you by:
- Consulting with you: All you have to do is call. Members of our team are always standing by to assess your case.

Take Action
If there is any way to nullify your prenuptial agreement, we can do so. For instance, we may:
- File legal motions: We can inform the court about your case and try to persuade it that your prenuptial agreement should be nullified.
- Take your case to court: If necessary, we can prepare your case for a judge to review and even deliver oral arguments before the judge to advocate for your rights.
- Attend meetings: To avoid the effort and expense of a trial, we can meet with your spouse’s representatives and try to come to a pretrial agreement that you both can live with.
- Pursue other actions: Per G.S. § 52B-6, it is possible to amend or revoke a prenuptial agreement post-marriage if both parties sign a written agreement stating as much. We can work to draw up an agreement that is satisfying to both spouses.
Handle Any Further Legal Tasks
Even after matters pertaining to your prenuptial agreement are (or seem) settled, you may find that you run into further legal issues down the road. For example, your spouse may not abide by the changes made in the prenuptial agreement, or you may decide to separate or get a divorce. If that happens, we can:
- Handle disagreements: If you or your spouse ever disagree about the provisions of the agreement, we can meet with the other side to work things out.
- File court motions: If other attempts at remediation fail, we can get the courts involved, filing motions asserting that your spouse is not following the agreement.
- Fight for you in court: If you decide to take legal action against your spouse, we can represent you in the courtroom.
It is impossible to predict what may happen with your prenuptial agreement months or years down the line. To protect yourself, your assets, and your children, it is better to be prepared and seek professional legal counsel as early in the process as you can.
