Document signals, not verdicts
Prenup red flags worth investigating.
These explainers begin with signals the review engine can locate, then show the state-law topics and authorities that make the missing facts important.
A red flag is a prompt to gather evidence. It is not a conclusion that a clause or agreement fails.Missing or thin financial schedules
The agreement references disclosure, assets, debts, or schedules that are absent, incomplete, or difficult to reconcile.
A final draft delivered close to signing
Material revisions, first presentation, legal review, and signing occur on a compressed timeline.
A broad or one-sided support waiver
The agreement eliminates, caps, or heavily conditions future spousal support.
Terms that try to predetermine child-related outcomes
The agreement attempts to fix child support, custody, parenting, or another future child-related decision.
Incomplete signatures, certificates, or incorporated documents
A signature, acknowledgment, witness page, exhibit, amendment, or referenced instrument cannot be located.
A choice-of-law clause in a multistate relationship
The agreement selects one state's law while the couple, property, signing, or future domicile connects to other states.
