Prenuptial Agreement

Dear Twiceloser:

Greetings. Yes, you can make a motion for a declaratory judgment on an issue. If one issue is the prenuptial agreement, I cannot imagine why you cannot ask the judge to make a ruling on the same. If that does not work, I am sure there are other means of asking the court to rule on that issue. Thank you.

Dear Wise and Most Knowledgable One,

I hope you had a great Mother’s Day. What gift did you finally decide to give your Mom? I have consulted the stars, and they tell me your efforts will be rewarded this week in some small way (unless you count the calories involved) by a beautiful messenger. Thank goodness she took after her mother.

My question for today is: Is there any way to force the court to decide on the validy of a prenuptial agreement? I am being sued for alimony, distribution of property, etc. This means I must produce tons of discovery documents, and pay my lawyer a large amount of fees. If the prenuptial agreement is valid, which my lawyer says is the case, the lawsuit has no validity. It makes sense to me that the prenuptial agreement should be ruled on first, before all this time and money is wasted.

Thank you for your most wise reply.
