Maine Divorce Laws Continued

By , About.com Guide

A premarital agreement is not enforceable if the party against whom enforcement is sought proves that: That party did not execute the agreement voluntarily; or that the agreement was unconscionable when it was executed and, before execution of the agreement, that party:

  • Was not provided a fair and reasonable disclosure of the property or financial obligations of the other party.
  • Did not voluntarily and expressly waive, in writing, any right to disclosure of the property or financial obligations of the other party beyond the disclosure provided.
  • Did not have, or reasonably could not have had, an adequate knowledge of the property or financial obligations of the other party. A premarital agreement becomes effective upon the marriage of the parties. The right of a child to receive support may not be adversely affected by a premarital agreement.

[Based on Maine Revised Statutes - Title 19-A - Sections 603 to 608]
