Answer:
A premarital agreement has to be in writing and should be signed by both the parties. It should have the details of the assets of both the parties. The relevant law here would be
N.J. Stat. § 37:2-33:
N.J. Stat. § 37:2-33:
“A premarital or pre-civil union agreement shall be in writing, with a statement of assets annexed thereto, signed by both parties, and it is enforceable without consideration.”
