Georgia Prenuptial Agreements

Georgia courts judge prenuptial agreements under the long-standing Scherer v. Scherer factors. Full disclosure matters: Georgia has set agreements aside where a spouse concealed assets.

Equitable distribution

How Georgia divides property.

Georgia divides marital property by equitable distribution — fairly, but not necessarily equally. A prenuptial agreement is a key factor a court weighs when dividing property.

WealthGuard builds your agreement around these rules — so it’s tailored to Georgia, not a generic national template.

What Georgia requires

The Scherer v. Scherer factors

Georgia courts ask whether the agreement was obtained without fraud, duress, or nondisclosure; whether it is unconscionable; and whether changed circumstances would make enforcement unfair.

In writing and signed

The agreement must be a written contract signed by both parties before the marriage.

Full and fair financial disclosure

Each party should fully disclose assets, debts, and income. Inadequate disclosure is a leading reason agreements are later thrown out.

Voluntary, without duress

Both parties must sign freely — not under pressure, and with enough time to review. Last-minute, eve-of-wedding signings invite challenges.
