Also known as a “prenup,” a prenuptial agreement is a legally binding premarital contract that protects your assets in the event that your marriage ends in divorce.
Prenups are not just for celebrities or those with a high net worth. On the contrary, most couples can benefit from them. For instance, you won’t have to worry about what will happen to your assets, your child’s inheritance, your own inheritance, or a family business. Should the worst come to pass, a prenup can help you avoid a messy divorce.

A court will not and cannot enforce an invalid prenup, which is why it is so important to make sure your prenup hits all the right points.

According to state law, a prenup will not be legally binding if:
No, infidelity will not make a prenup null and void in most cases.
While you are free to insert an infidelity clause (or cheating clause) in a prenup, there is no guarantee that the court will enforce that clause. Such a clause would need to be specific and easily interpreted and understood. There is also the issue of trying to prove infidelity, which brings its own issues and evidentiary concerns.
