If you are considering a prenup and haven’t discussed it with your fiancé yet, be sure to give yourself 2-3 months to have the initial conversation. This will help you both get comfortable with the idea. Although requirements for validity differ greatly with each state, many states do not consider a prenuptial agreement signed within a week of a wedding to be unenforceable solely because of the time between signing and the wedding.

If your prenup was signed the day before your wedding, it could be argued that you or your spouse didn’t have much time to fully review the agreement, and did not have time to hire an attorney. California, for example, requires at least 7 days in between the presentation of the agreement and when it is signed, to ensure parties had enough time to obtain legal advice.
