Pre-nuptial Agreements in Alabama

In general, Alabama Courts are not overly fond of pre-nuptial agreements. For a pre-nuptial to be valid it must contain a preamble which must show the general intent of the parties; full disclosure of the assets involved (personal financial statement should be attached as exhibits); and each party must be represented by independent legal counsel. A case that you might want to read on pre-nuptial agreements is Barnhill 386 So 2d 748.  http://tinyurl.com/BarnhillvBarnhill   If you would like to talk over the option of a pre-nuptial agreement, let me know.  JDF (205)912-8247
