You are not required to hire an attorney, but many states will look at whether or not you or your future spouse had the opportunity to obtain legal advice, and whether one or both of you were represented by an attorney.
Was there enough time to find an attorney before the wedding and you chose not to?
Did you just sign the agreement without even reading it the night before the wedding without an opportunity to consult a lawyer?
The answers to questions like these will all be taken into consideration.
In addition, it is worth having an attorney review your prenuptial agreement with you in case you have questions. If your assets are complex (i.e. significant family inheritance, business(es), etc.), it may be an especially good idea to have a lawyer review your agreement.
