what defines duress prior to signing prenup

[logicalvelocity]

penny,

welcome to the forum


duress:

from the dictionary

Constraint by threat; coercion: confessed under duress.
Law.

Coercion illegally applied.

Forcible confinement.

I would think you would have to prove on the balance of probabilities that this occurred. Medical document ion at the time would perhaps be adequate proof.

Hi penny,

Welcome to the forums.

I just wanted to add that if a party had obtained independent legal advice upon the signing of a prenup, it would be very difficult for him/her to invalidate the agreement later on. This is because at the time of the signing, a lawyer would have explained to the party the details of the agreement and any consequences of signing same.
