Utah Prenuptial Agreement – Utah Prenup Law

In order for a premarital agreement to be enforceable under Utah law, it must meet certain requirements. If you are considering entering into a prenuptial agreement, you should be aware of the following laws relating to prenuptial agreements in Utah:

1.            A premarital agreement must be in writing and must be signed by both parties.

2.            A premarital agreement becomes effective upon marriage.

3.            After the parties are married, a premarital agreement may be amended or revoked only by a written agreement signed by the parties.

4.            It must be voluntary.

5.            There must be a reasonable disclosure of the property or financial obligations of the other party.

6.            If a provision of a premarital agreement modifies or eliminates spousal support and that modification or elimination causes one party to the agreement to be eligible for support under a program of public assistance at the time of separation or marital dissolution, a court, notwithstanding the terms of the agreement, may require the other party to provide support to the extent necessary to avoid that eligibility.
