A postnuptial agreement is a legally binding contract between spouses, executed after marriage, that defines property division, spousal support, and financial rights. In Virginia, these agreements are governed by Va. Code § 20-107.3 (equitable distribution statute), which Mr. Sris personally amended. The agreement must be in writing, signed voluntarily by both parties, and based on full financial disclosure. Virginia courts enforce postnuptial agreements unless they are unconscionable, procured by fraud, or signed under duress. Unlike prenuptial agreements, postnuptial agreements address assets and debts acquired during the marriage and can modify existing marital rights.
