In terms of illegal things, a contract can't be based on performance that is illegal. In terms of things that can't be signed away, it more often comes down to a matter of enforceability in the event of a dispute or breach.

This is definitely a breach of contract case. You may even be entitled to triple damages if your lawyer can prove consumer fraud which may allow you to get back the payment you will need to make to hire a good lawyer. Setup an in office consultation with a good lawyer of your choice.

You need to start with your contract. The terms will govern. If you definitely want out, you may have to sue. You might call the NJ Governor's office to discuss your options.

I want to separate from my husband. We have two kids, I don't work, and I would like to keep the kids. My husband has told me he would provide for me my rent, and a weekly amount of money, since I don't work and I need to take care of both kids.
Can we make a legal agreement... View More

My sense is that you are trying to figure out how to tiptoe through emotionally difficult terrain, fearful that if you push too hard, your husband will start making demands to share the children and then refusing to give you money for yourself and your children. You are the perfect person to sit... View More

You should discuss this situation with an experienced civil litigation attorney. With state-of-the-art... View More

Generally, a cosigner can revive the statute of limitations on an old debt by making a payment or by agreeing to begin making payments (depending on state law).

Yes it can be done but just like anything else it needs to be properly drafted. I suggest hiring a good lawyer to represent you and if the other party isn't represented make sure they have a lawyer on their side as that is how most of these prenuptial Agreements are invalidated.
