Why Problems Arise

Typically, there can be problems when these agreements don’t adhere to the required formalities to ensure their validity, especially if the contract was entered into during duress. The court may interpret it as a one-sided or evidence of duress agreement if one party signs it close to the wedding date when presented by the other party.
