A premarital agreement is not enforceable if the party against whom enforcement is sought proves that:\nA.  That party did not execute the agreement voluntarily; or\nB.  The agreement was unconscionable when it was executed and, before execution of the agreement, that party:\n(1)  Was not provided a fair and reasonable disclosure of the property or financial obligations of the other party;\n(2)  Did not voluntarily and expressly waive, in writing, any right to disclosure of the property or financial obligations of the other party beyond the disclosure provided; and\n(3)  Did not have, or reasonably could not have had, an adequate knowledge of the property or financial obligations of the other party.\n2.  Support required.  If a provision of a premarital agreement modifies or eliminates spousal support and that modification or elimination causes one party to the agreement to be eligible for support under a program of public assistance at the time of separation or marital dissolution, a court, notwithstanding the terms of the agreement, may require the other party to provide support to the extent necessary to avoid that eligibility.\n3.  Unconscionability.  An issue of unconscionability of a premarital agreement must be decided by the court as a matter of law.","path":["TITLE 19-A: DOMESTIC RELATIONS","PART 2: MARRIED PERSONS","CHAPTER 21: UNIFORM PREMARITAL AGREEMENT ACT"],"source_url":"https://legislature.maine.gov/statutes/19-A/title19-Asec608.html","current_through":"October 1, 2025","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-04T15:12:29Z","sha256":"af9d98de9f12f1b2eda41e993c726b8636ec6aff7b362827c83294ce3606279a","source_id":"us-me","stale":false,"prev":"us-me/19-a-m.r.s.-607","next":"us-me/19-a-m.r.s.-609"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
