This bill would establish rules for postnuptial agreements, which are contracts made between spouses after they are already married. It would make these agreements invalid unless they meet specific requirements and at least 60 days pass between when a spouse first receives the document and when it is signed. This waiting period and other conditions are intended to ensure spouses have adequate time to review and consider such agreements before signing. Who it may affect: married couples considering a financial or legal agreement with their spouse.
