It is not uncommon for spouses to hurriedly update a prenuptial agreement with a postnuptial agreement after marriage – or to draft a postnup to protect assets or limit debt liability.
Post nuptial contracts tend to be scrutinized by the court, especially in high asset divorce cases. Contact the knowledgeable family law attorneys at TK Law if you are considering legal action to challenge a postnuptial agreement.

The postnup is a legal document that allows a husband and wife to determine many things the courts typically determine should a marriage end in divorce or death. The postnup is usually thought of as a contract that establishes financial agreements between spouses should they divorce, and how property will be divided. Postnups may also be drafted to address other marital issues such as
- Child raising
- Setting budgets
- Establishing consequences for damaging behaviors such as infidelity, gambling or addictions
- Vacation schedules
One key to contesting a postnup is largely based upon the attorney you choose to represent you. You need divorce attorneys who have drafted hundreds of pre- and postnuptial contracts that will stand up in court if challenged. TK Law attorneys have this experience, and we know what it takes to challenge or contest these marital agreements.

Grounds to Challenge a Postnuptial Agreement
Disputing a postnup during divorce is similar to challenging a prenup. It is critical to determine whether both spouses were fully knowledgeable of what they were signing, as well as whether income and debts were accurately represented. The grounds for these challenges are centered on whether:
- A spouse was coerced or threatened to sign the agreement
- The postnup was overreaching
- The postnup was unconscionable
- There was no fair and reasonable disclosure of property or financial obligations
- A spouse did not voluntarily or expressly waive, in writing, any right to disclosure of property or financial obligations
