Prenuptial Agreements to be Legally Tested

Divorce Cheddah submitted this Boston Globe article and writes "A prenuptial agreement might not be upheld because the woman may have been under "unfair" circumstances when she signed it - MA Probate and Family Court Judge Catherine Sabaitis ruled that the agreement was not fair and reasonable, noting that Susan DeMatteo did not fully explore her options. ''I think this is a pivotal case for prenuptial agreements,'' said Mark T. Smith, one of Marty DeMatteo's lawyers. ''If this decision is upheld, then it is essentially going to make prenuptial agreements unenforceable.''" The ex-wife is complaining that her $35k/year alimony, house, car, and other benefits aren't satisfactory. The ex-husband also didn't earn his wealth - it was inherited. I think this is an obvious case of greed to the extreme.
