GA Marriage Contract v Agreement in Contemplation of Divorce

Posted Nov.11, 2009 by Cynthia J. Remboldt, Esq., under Divorce, Prenuptial Agreement

 Antenuptial, prenuptial, witnesses

Denial of wife’s motion for partial summary judgment, REVERSED, in parties’ divorce case, as trial court erred in finding that parties’ antenuptial agreement was enforceable under OCGA 19-3-63 because it was not signed by two attesting witnesses; agreement constituted marriage contract, entered into in consideration of marriage, which must be attested by at least two witnesses, rather than agreement in contemplation of divorce, because agreement waived each spouses’ rights in others property and did not mention either divorce or alimony.
