4 Cards On This Topic:

Strict requirements must be met if premarital agreement is to be enforceable against unrepresented party.

Recitations of representation in a premarital agreement do not conclusively establish a party was represented.

When the evidence shows an unrepresented party was not provided with the 7-day period for review required by FC §1615 (c)(2), the agreement's recitation that the review period was provided is not binding.

Attorney dealing with pro per has a strict duty to deal fairly and objectively; resulting agreement carefully scrutinized for fairness. Independent counsel for both preferred.
