Common Issues in Enforcing Marriage Contracts
Property Division
One of the most common disputes arising from marriage contracts involves the division of property. Couples often include specific provisions about how their assets will be divided in the event of a separation or divorce. Disputes can occur if one party feels the division is unfair or if there are disagreements about the interpretation of the contract terms.
Spousal Support
Another frequent area of contention is spousal support. Marriage contracts often stipulate whether one spouse will receive support and, if so, how much and for how long. Disputes can arise if circumstances change significantly, such as a substantial increase or decrease in either party’s income, leading one party to seek a modification of the agreed-upon support terms.
