My partner and I are considering a prenup before getting married, and I’m trying to understand how infidelity might affect it. I’ve read mixed things online, and it’s a bit confusing. If one of us cheats, does that automatically make the prenup invalid, or does it depend on what’s written in the agreement? Would appreciate any insights or experiences!
Hi planetturtle, it’s great that you’re thinking proactively about this—it shows care for both your relationship and practical matters. Infidelity itself doesn’t automatically invalidate a prenup; what matters is how the agreement addresses breaches of trust or marital misconduct. Some prenups include clauses about infidelity and its impact on asset division, while others don’t mention it at all. Have you and your partner discussed specifics you want included related to this? Consulting a family law attorney who understands your state’s laws is essential—they can help tailor clauses that reflect your values and provide clarity. Emotional healing and legal clarity each serve different needs but both matter.
amho, it’s all in the fine print. cheating isn’t an automatic prenup buster unless your doc says so. might wanna talk to a lawyer tho
