Home / Before I married, I signed an agreement that stipulated total separation of property. But the agreement was never authorized, and during our marriage we never acted upon this agreement, and shared everything. I even helped my husband to develop a successful business. We are now divorcing, and my husband suddenly "remembered" this agreement, and filed it in Court, claiming I have no right in his assets and/or business. Will the Court accept his claim?

No! the Family Court in Ashdod ruled in a similar case that an “agreement” signed before marriage without being authorized by a notary is invalid and does not constitute a prenup agreement by law (Family case # 29787-11-22).
