Undue Influence and Duress as Elements of Pre-Nuptial Agreement Enforcement

A couple had executed a premarital agreement giving Husband all his business property.  Eleven years later Husband executed a document transferring to Wife as her separate property 20% of the stock in his business and the family home.  The couple separated a few months later and Husband soon thereafter filed for divorce.  The trial court found that this document was unenforceable due to undue influence and duress, as Husband had provided evidence that he had signed the transfer document after Wife had screamed at him, struck him, and threatened to divorce him and alienate him from their children if he did not provide her with this security.  The transfer of the property was set aside by the court on the grounds that the transfer was the product of wife's undue influence over husband, and while he was under duress.  Click here to read the opinion.
