Once forbidden, postnuptial agreements now seem to have crept into the realm of enforceable contracts in most states, though they may not always be enforced on the same terms as other types of contracts are. In a recent case, Ansin v. Craven-Ansin, the Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) of Massachusetts ruled that an agreement that a husband and wife made after they married, seeking to predetermine the financial consequences of any future divorce, was not against public policy and satisfied the necessary criteria for enforcement." ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/08/02/the-enforceability-of-postnuptial-agreements-massachusetts-weighs-in-part-one-in-a-two-part-series/feed/ 0
