Are Prenuptial Agreements Valid in Michigan?
Yes. Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are valid and enforceable in the State of Michigan, provided they pass a specific legal test. These agreements are essential for simplifying the dissolution of a relationship or protecting the inheritance rights of children from a previous marriage.

The 3-Point Validity Test
1. Full Disclosure
The agreement must not be obtained through fraud, duress, mistake, or nondisclosure of material facts.
2. Fair Execution
The agreement must not be "unconscionable" (absolutely unfair) at the time it was signed.
3. Reasonable Facts
Circumstances must not have changed so drastically that enforcement becomes unfair or unreasonable.
Why Consider a Prenup?
Prenuptial agreements are most common in second marriages or when one party enters the marriage with significant assets. They provide "straight talk" clarity on how property will be distributed, reducing stress and legal costs in the future.
Timing is Key: You should contact an experienced lawyer well in advance of your wedding date to ensure the document is drafted and reviewed properly.
