Separation Agreement
New York
Can a separation agreement be modified after it has been signed?
Can a separation agreement be modified after it has been signed? My spouse and I recently went through a separation and we both agreed to the terms outlined in the agreement, which includes child custody, spousal support, and division of assets. However, circumstances have changed since signing the agreement, and I am wondering if it is possible to modify certain provisions to better suit our current situation. I want to know if there are any legal options available to amend the separation agreement or if we are bound by its terms indefinitely.
Lana A.
Any Separation Agreement can be amended but it must either be for cause or by agreement and acceptable to the court. There are only two avenues to amend a separation agreement after it is has agreed to and court ordered. 1) is by a motion made to the court based on the source of change of circumstances; this will involve a hearing and a decision by the court if the parties cannot agree 2) by the party's agreement or through mediation or negotiation. This must also be presented to the court for approval and to update the existing order.

Prenuptial Agreement
New York
Is a prenuptial agreement legally binding in the event of a divorce?
I am engaged and considering getting a prenuptial agreement to protect my assets in case of a divorce, but I have heard conflicting information about their enforceability. I have worked hard to build my business and accumulate significant savings, and I want to ensure that these assets are protected in the event of a divorce. I would like to know if a prenuptial agreement is legally binding and what factors can affect its enforceability in my state.
Khari P.
A prenup would be binding in a divorce action provided that the prenuptial agreement was written properly, both parties disclosed all relevant financial information along with an acknowledgement that they had the right to consult an attorney of their own choosing before signing, and the signing was witnessed by a notary.

Separation Agreement
California
Can I modify a separation agreement without going to court?
I recently went through a separation from my spouse and we both signed a separation agreement that outlined the division of assets, child custody, and support. However, circumstances have changed and I would like to modify certain provisions of the agreement. I would like to know if it is possible to make these modifications without having to go to court and what the process would entail.
Randy M.
Yes, you can modify a separation agreement in California without having to go back to court, but how you do that depends on how your original agreement was set up. It all comes down to whether it was a private contract or part of a court order. If It’s a Private Agreement If your agreement was never filed with the court or made part of a judgment, you have a lot of flexibility. You and your spouse can agree to changes at any time. All you need to do is put those changes in writing, sign the amendment, and ideally get it notarized. That’s it. No court filings, no hearings. The new terms take effect as soon as both parties sign. If It’s a Court-Approved Agreement Things shift a bit if your agreement was filed with the court and incorporated into a judgment. In that case, it becomes a court order. Still, if both of you agree on the changes, you can usually avoid going to court in person. What you’ll want to do is file a “stipulated modification.” That’s a document both parties sign, laying out the new terms. Once it’s submitted, a judge reviews it and, assuming everything looks fine, signs off. It then becomes the new court order. Most of the time, this doesn’t require a hearing unless something needs clarification. Special Consideration: Anything Involving Children Here’s where it gets a little more sensitive. If your changes involve custody, visitation, or child support, the court still has jurisdiction over those issues even if you both agree on the new terms. Why? Because the law prioritizes the child’s best interests. You can absolutely agree on changes together, but to make them enforceable, it’s strongly recommended that you file them with the court. Without that step, if something goes sideways later, your informal agreement may not hold up legally. Property Division: Usually Final Unlike custody or support, property division is typically a one-and-done deal. Once it’s finalized in the original agreement, it’s not something you can just revise later unless there was fraud involved or a major asset was hidden during the initial process. When You Can’t Avoid Court There are certain situations where court involvement becomes unavoidable. For example, if your spouse doesn’t agree to the changes, if the changes involve contested child custody, visitation, or support, or if you need the court’s authority to make the new terms enforceable. In contested cases, the court will require proof that something has significantly changed since the original order. That could be a job loss, a major income shift, a move, or a change in a child’s needs. A Middle Ground: Mediation If you’re stuck but don’t want to dive straight into litigation, mediation can help. A neutral third party works with both of you to help find common ground. If you come to an agreement that way, you can still submit it to the court for approval so it becomes official. How to Handle a Non-Court Modification If you're handling this privately, here’s a quick step-by-step: check your original agreement to see if it includes a specific process for making changes; draft an amendment that clearly references the original agreement and spells out the new terms; both of you should sign and date it (and get it notarized if possible); and make sure it states that all other parts of the agreement remain in effect. Even if you’re not required to file it, consider submitting it to the court anyway to protect both parties legally If you’re both on the same page, modifying a separation agreement can be simple and cost-effective. Just don’t skip the paperwork. And when it comes to anything involving kids, court approval is almost always worth the extra step.

Last Will and Testament
Oklahoma
I was in a common law marriage to this man for aprox 8 years in oklahoma. He suddenly passes away unexpectedly. During our relationship we purchased some property put a travel trailer on it. Moved a bldg which we added on to for laundry room and storage. We built fences worked the land together. The vehicles / 3 and travel trailor were in both our names. Bank accounts were only in his name. Savings account etc. The land was only in his name. He had an old will I wasn't part of that reading don't know what went on. He had no living children . Had 2 grandchildren that was taken very well of with his life ins. What am I to get legally. WE live in oklahoma.
Common law marriage spouse suddenly dies. He had no living children or parents. One brother 2 sisters and 2 grandchildren. One being an adult now I think. What do I legally get to keep?
Alan B.
Once a common law marriage is recognized, your legal entitlements mirror those of any legally married spouse. However, you must assert and demonstrate your common law marriage by clear and convincing evidence. Based on the details provided, this evidence might include, but is not limited to, cohabitation, joint ownership of vehicles and travel trailers, a long-term and exclusive relationship, and presenting yourselves publicly as husband and wife. In summary, under Oklahoma law, a common law marriage affords you the same rights as a traditionally married spouse, provided that you can substantiate your claim with clear and convincing evidence. As to what you would be entitled to, should you find yourself excluded from the will (as it appears you were), it would be within your rights to petition for the reopening of the probate process to claim your spousal share. If there was property outside of the will that needs to distributed, that may also need to be submitted for probate. Keep in mind that entitlements and the process to claim them can vary significantly based on the specifics of each case. Determinations on how to proceed are always fact-specific, and an Oklahoma lawyer specializing in family and estate law can assist you in getting what you would be entitled to as a common law spouse.
