One woman's story – is this you?
My husband initiated a separation in 2015.
Can I talk to my husband during our divorce?
Legally speaking, you can have any discussions you want with your soon-to-be ex-husband or ex-wife while your case is going forward unless there is an order of protection in place prohibiting
You fell in love. You got married. You started a business together, or one of you invited the other to join them in their existing business venture. Time passed. Your business thrived. Your marriage did not. Now what?

If you are asking whether your prenuptial agreement (prenup) can be invalidated, chances are you and your spouse have signed one. And now, one of you may be disputing its terms. Can your prenup be invalidated, or is it considered an inviolable contract "written in stone?"
Divorce is tough. It's tough on you, and it is tough on your children. You already are ending your legal connection to your former spouse. Add children into the mix, along with the challenge of negotiating appropriate custody scenarios, and the stress levels rise exponentially.
Before marriage, you and your spouse may have discussed entering into a prenuptial agreement. Commonly referred to as a prenup, this written contract between spouses protects certain rights to property and assets if the marriage dissolves.
Entering into a prenuptial agreement before your “I dos” can settle any potential financial disputes in the unfortunate event of a divorce. Prospective spouses use these contracts to establish the protection of individual assets.
“Mine!” “No, mine!”
It is often said that marriage is about love and divorce is about money – a view shared by the New York State legal system, which sees marriage as an economic and a social partnership.
