Parties Signed Premarital Agreement<\/h3>\n

In a recent case, a husband challenged an award of attorney\u2019s fees to the wife because their pre-marital agreement provided for property to remain separate.\u00a0 According to the appeals court\u2019s opinion<\/a>, the parties signed the pre-marital agreement which provided that their pre-marital separate property and property acquired during the marriage would stay separate.\u00a0 They married in 2016 and had a child the next year.<\/p>\n
