Two days before the wedding, Craig Austin presented Donna with a prenuptial agreement, which she signed, according to her attorney, Dana Curhan.

Presenting a prenuptual agreement just two days priot to the wedding meant she signed it under duress and the prenup should be void on that basis alone.

Probably depends on the legal definition of "duress". A little tougher than "is", but still necessary.

I am not certain this is completely true.

Certainly the date of the prenup is two days before the wedding. But they could have been discussing it for months, revising drafts all along the way, and finally gotten it to exactly the right wording two days before the wedding.

Or, consider the possibility that her told her he wanted one, she reluctantly verbally agreed, and then did nothing about it for months. Two days before the wedding he says sign it or call it off. She will claim duress, but he has just as valid a claim to duress if she agreed previously but then delayed in the hope that she could force the issue.

Not ennough details are presented here. It looks like the pre-nup was a surprise two days before the wedding. I know of a woman who had such a surprise the morning of the wedding. Surprise! The best way is to go to the islands to get married and hire a local person to perform the 'ceremony'. The 'little woman' never realizes she's not married until years later.

your joking, right?

She could have just cancelled the wedding. She had a choice.

Expect men to be even more resistant to commit to a wife now.

Exactly. If you want a prenup give your spouse to be time to get a lawyer to review it. In PA the agreement would be void.

How is that "duress" by any reasonable definition of the word?

What Total Utter Feminist Nonsense ! BARF ALERT ...


1) This "isn't" a Moslem/Islamic nation (yet) and so where was the Coercion/Duress, unless hidden in her greed-infected soul ?

2) Contracts are Contacts ... and this "absurd" court decision will be overturned on it's head, to be flushed down the toilet wher it deserves to be.

You assume that it had not been discussed before then. They might have been working out final terms and signed it just before the wedding.
