Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most people think prenups in Wisconsin are ironclad contracts that courts must enforce. The reality? Courts throw out prenups all the time—for lack of understanding, unfairness at implementation, missing disclosures, or provisions against public policy. Holly Mullin, Managing Partner at Sterling Law Offices, and Ellen Rhodeman, Senior Partner with extensive prenup experience, reveal what actually makes prenups enforceable in Wisconsin.
In this episode, you'll learn about:
- Wisconsin prenup legal requirements including written agreements and disclosures
- Common provisions for property division and support in prenups
- Strategic timing from six months out to two weeks
- Two attorney advantages for strengthening prenup enforceability in Wisconsin
- Real cases where prenups were challenged or partially enforced
Ellen shares compelling examples from her practice, including an elderly couple case where public policy trumped prenup terms, and explains the critical difference between property division presumptions and maintenance factors in Wisconsin prenup law. Whether you're considering a prenup or already have one, this episode provides essential insights about protecting your agreement's enforceability when it matters most.
