The Uniform Premarital Agreement Act, which was written by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Law in 1983, encourages the enforcement of prenuptial agreements. The exact UPAA standards differ from state to state just like other divorce laws. The following is the North Carolina state statutes regarding premarital and prenuptial agreements and how they are considered and enforced by the North Carolina court.
North Carolina: G.S. §§ 52B-1 to 52B-11
§ 52B‑3. Formalities.
§ 52B‑4. Content.
§ 52B‑5. Effect of marriage.
§ 52B‑6. Amendment, revocation.
§ 52B‑7. Enforcement.
(b) If a provision of a premarital agreement modifies or eliminates spousal support and that modification or elimination causes one party to the agreement to be eligible for support under a program of public assistance at the time of separation or marital dissolution, a court, notwithstanding the terms of the agreement, may require the other party to provide support to the extent necessary to avoid that eligibility. Before the court orders support under this subsection, the court must find that the party for whom support is ordered is a dependent spouse, as defined by G.S. 50‑16.1A, and that the requirements of G.S. 50‑16.2A regarding post-separation support or G.S. 50‑16.3A regarding alimony have been met.
§ 52B‑8. Enforcement: void marriage.
§ 52B‑9. Limitation of actions.
§ 52B‑10. Application and construction.
52B‑11. Severability.
