Why a Delaware prenup is different
A First prenup is built around the laws of Delaware, and you, from the ground up.
Delaware adopted the UPAA, and it asks for little on paper
Delaware's Uniform Premarital Agreement Act asks for a written agreement signed by both parties, enforceable without consideration. No notary, no witnesses. It takes effect when you marry. What the statute is strict about is not the paperwork but the two things a court checks if the agreement is ever challenged.
The test is voluntariness and disclosure
A Delaware court will not enforce a prenup if the partner challenging it proves they did not sign voluntarily. Nor will it enforce one that was unconscionable when signed, where that partner got no fair and reasonable disclosure of the other's property and obligations, waived none in writing, and had no adequate knowledge of them otherwise.
An equitable division, without regard to misconduct
Without a prenup, a Delaware court equitably divides, distributes and assigns the marital property in the proportions it deems just, without regard to marital misconduct, weighing the length of the marriage, each partner's age, health, income and employability, and a list of other factors. Equitable does not always mean equal. A prenup is how you two decide instead.

Customized to Delaware law and to your finances, not a fill-in-the-blank template First vs hiring two Delaware attorneys on your own
Key considerations
A Delaware prenup is $649 flat for the couple through First, completed online with notarization included. Hiring two attorneys separately in Delaware, where family law attorneys average $414 an hour and published Delaware rates run $250 to $450 an hour, commonly lands between $2,600 and $11,200 for the couple.
Hired separately, a prenup is quoted per partner and often billed hourly, so the final number is hard to predict before you start. First is one flat price for both of you, with no retainer and no hourly bills.
The fees also price only the legal work. Hiring on your own means building a shortlist of Delaware family law attorneys, calling each one, booking consults, and confirming both fees and availability against your wedding date, then running all of it again because your partner needs a different attorney. First replaces this work with a process the two of you complete together, at your own pace, from anywhere in the state.

Is Self-Serve right for your Delaware prenup?
First Self-Serve is the best option for your prenup. It combines a process that guides you through alignment and full financial disclosure with a reasonable cost and free online notarization.
Self-Serve is right for you if…
- You and your partner broadly agree on how you want your finances to work
- You want a Delaware-specific agreement rather than a downloadable template
- You have time before the wedding for both of you to read it, ask questions and sign well ahead of the day
- You want one flat price for the couple instead of two hourly bills
Self-Serve covers situations like…
- One of you owns a business, or holds stock, options or RSUs
- A home or other property one of you owned before the wedding
- An inheritance or family gifts you want to keep as separate property
- Child support or support one of you already pays from a prior marriage
- Deciding support now, whether that means waiving it or setting it in advance
Delaware prenup questions, answered
Is a prenup enforceable in Delaware?
Yes. Delaware asks that you signed voluntarily and that the agreement was not unconscionable when signed without fair and reasonable disclosure, a written waiver and adequate knowledge. An agreement built on full disclosure and signed with time to spare is built to pass that test.
How much does a prenup cost in Delaware?
With First, a Delaware prenup is $649 flat for the couple, with online notarization included. Hiring attorneys instead commonly runs $2,600 to $11,200 for the couple, billed hourly at published Delaware rates of $250 to $450 an hour, since each partner needs their own attorney and the hourly math runs twice. Our guide to what a prenup costs walks through that math.
Do you do prenups in Wilmington, Dover and Newark?
Yes. First serves couples across Delaware, including Wilmington, Dover and Newark. Self-Serve is $649 flat for the couple and is completed online, so where in the state you live does not change the process or the price.
Do both people need a lawyer for a prenup in Delaware?
No. Delaware does not require either partner to be represented for a prenup to be valid. What a court looks at is whether both of you signed freely and knew what the other had. Disclosure and timing are within your control, and they are what First Self-Serve is built around. If you'd like to talk your situation through, book a free 20-minute call.
Can I do a Delaware prenup online?
Yes. Nothing in Delaware law treats an agreement differently because of how it was produced. What matters is that it is in writing and signed, that both partners disclosed their finances fully, and that both signed freely. First Self-Serve is $649 for the couple and includes online notarization.
Does a Delaware prenup have to be notarized?
No. Delaware does not require a prenup to be notarized for it to be valid. Notarizing it is still worth doing, because a notarized signature is straightforward evidence that both partners signed. First includes online notarization at no extra cost.
When should we sign a prenup in Delaware?
As early as you reasonably can. Delaware sets no waiting period, but how much time each partner had to read and think about the agreement is what a court looks at first if it is ever challenged. An agreement produced days before the ceremony is the fact pattern most likely to fail. Signing months ahead removes the argument.
Is First Self-Serve right for a complex Delaware prenup?
Yes. Self-Serve covers business ownership, stock, options and RSUs, real estate, inheritance and gifts, existing child support or support obligations, and support terms, all for $649 flat for the couple. If you'd like to talk your situation through first, book a free 20-minute call.
What does a Delaware prenup cover?
A Delaware prenup decides what stays separate, in place of an equitable division made without regard to marital misconduct. It also covers debts, and what happens to property each of you brings in. A Delaware court can still decline to enforce terms that are unconscionable, which is why disclosure matters as much as the terms themselves.
