New Jersey Prenuptial Agreements
A New Jersey prenuptial agreement is governed by the UPAA (N.J.S.A. 37:2-31 to -41). It must be in writing with a statement of assets annexed and signed by both parties; a challenger must prove involuntariness or unconscionability at execution by clear and convincing evidence.

How New Jersey divides property.
New Jersey divides marital property equitably. Its Uniform Premarital Agreement Act lets parties set their own terms, with strict execution and disclosure requirements.
WealthGuard builds your agreement around these rules — so it’s tailored to New Jersey, not a generic national template.
What New Jersey requires
Statement of assets annexed
N.J.S.A. 37:2-33 requires a statement of each party’s assets to be attached to the signed agreement.
Disclosure or written waiver; opportunity for counsel
Under N.J.S.A. 37:2-38, the agreement is unconscionable-at-execution if there was no full and fair disclosure, no written waiver, no adequate knowledge, and no opportunity to consult independent counsel waived in writing.
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.
