It depends. A clear prenup typically takes 2-4 weeks from initial consultation to final signing. Complex agreements involving business valuation or international assets may take 6-8 weeks.

No. Virginia courts decide child custody based on the best interests of the child under Va. Code § 20-124.3. A prenup cannot predetermine custody or child support, which is calculated using Virginia guidelines.
What happens if we get divorced without a prenuptial agreement in Spotsylvania County?
