New York governs prenuptial agreements under Domestic Relations Law (DRL) §236B(3), which requires the agreement to be in writing, signed, and acknowledged before a notary — the same formalities as a deed. New York has not adopted the UPAA, relying on its own statutory framework and case law. New York follows equitable distribution under DRL §236B(5), dividing marital property fairly based on 14 statutory factors.
Whether you're a Manhattan investment banker protecting bonuses and carried interest, a Brooklyn startup founder with venture-backed equity, or a couple on Long Island with valuable real estate, a New York prenup is essential. New York's high property values, complex compensation structures, and active courts make prenups one of the most contested and litigated areas of family law in the state.
SignAI generates your New York prenuptial agreement with proper legal language — including the required notary acknowledgment, compliance with DRL §236B, equitable distribution considerations, and governing law clauses for New York courts.

FAQ
Yes. New York enforces prenuptial agreements under DRL §236B(3). The agreement must be in writing, signed by both parties, and acknowledged before a notary public. New York courts apply a fairness standard and require voluntary execution with adequate financial disclosure.
No. New York has not adopted the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act. Instead, New York uses its own framework under Domestic Relations Law §236B. A key distinction: New York requires notary acknowledgment (like a deed), while most UPAA states only require signatures.
New York permits maintenance modification in prenups, but courts scrutinize waivers under the 2015 maintenance reform guidelines (DRL §236B(6)). A waiver may be overridden if it would leave one spouse unable to be self-supporting. Courts evaluate fairness at both signing and enforcement.
Yes. Under DRL §236B(3), a prenuptial agreement must be acknowledged before a notary public — the same formality required for real estate deeds. Without proper notary acknowledgment, the agreement may be unenforceable. This is a stricter requirement than most other states.
Under DRL §236B(5)(d), courts consider factors including income and property at marriage, marriage duration, age and health, loss of inheritance or pension rights, alimony awards, and contributions as a homemaker. A prenup replaces this judicial analysis with your agreed terms.
