There should be more information on the marital agreement as to why you might disagree. In general, marital agreements must be respected, but they may be amended or prohibited in certain circumstances. www.uniformlaws.org/shared/docs/premarital%20et%20th hour%20 agreements/2012_pmaa_final.pdf As in Webb/v. Webb 148 Wis.2d 455, 434 N.W.2d 856 (Ct. App. 1988),[6] the courts will consider the original intent of a pre-marital agreement to determine whether the agreement is valid at the time of divorce or not. If you can prove that the original intention did not mean marriage, you have a stronger case. Decisions like this are really left to the discretion of the court. Ultimately, it will depend on how the court judges your contract. They may decide to use the marriage agreement as enforceable for a divorce solution. The process takes time, and the more time you and your partner prepare the Prenup agreement, the better. As a general rule, one lawyer will draft the agreement with the representation of one party, while the other party will hire a lawyer to verify and advise that agreement. The Legal Council ensures that the agreement is applicable and can help deter issues that may arise in the event of a divorce from the court.
The best way to see if the agreement is fair is to contact a lawyer to find out more about your agreement, to find out if it is fair or not.

I had a prenupe when my husband would marry me. I don`t know what it`s about, so I`m just going to sign it. 12 years after we got married, he`s separating me. I`m afraid he`ll take away our little child from me and not give me anything on me. He made me sign two days before our wedding. It is not certified in wisconsin, but it has been notarized in the Philippines.
But he`s not separating me in the Philippines, he`s here in Wisconsin. Back in 2010 we had to divorce and he brought this prenup to the judge, but still to pay me 120K, but we reconcile and remain married until he retired at the age of 64 tlast January and shocked me again with Devorce.

Spouses should also be aware that decisions made under a marital agreement to amend or eliminate spousal support may not be enforceable if they result in a spouse`s financial hardship. These situations include situations in which one spouse would be entitled to public assistance, regardless of the conditions of the spousal allowance, when the other spouse is required to provide assistance, regardless of the conditions of the spouse`s form, to avoid the need for such assistance. Although marital agreements were initially avoided in the courts because they mistakenly believed they favoured the option of divorce, the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act (UPAA) [1] was created in 1983.
