New Connecticut requirements for enforcing or avoiding Premarital and Postnuptial Agreements

Effective August 15, 2011, Connecticut Practice Book Section 25-2A requires:

If a party to a divorce wishes to enforce a premarital or postnuptial they must disclose the existence of the agreement within 60 days of the return date of the divorce complaint and demand its enforcement.

If a party to a divorce seeks to avoid a premarital or postnuptial agreement, they must file a reply specifically setting forth the grounds as to why the agreement should not be enforced.

The rule is designed to facilitate the orderly processing of divorce complaints involving pre and post nups and to avoid last minute claims of enforcement or avoidance.
