Tennessee prenuptial agreements, online for $649

Yes. Tennessee's statute makes a prenup binding on a court if it was entered into freely, knowledgeably and in good faith, without duress or undue influence on either partner. The Tennessee Supreme Court reads "knowledgeably" to mean the partner relying on the agreement must show a full and fair disclosure of the nature, extent and value of their holdings, or that the other partner already knew them. An agreement built on full disclosure and signed voluntarily, with time to spare, is built to pass that test.

With First, a Tennessee 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 Tennessee family law 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.

Yes. First serves couples across Tennessee, including Nashville and suburbs such as Franklin, Brentwood and Murfreesboro, Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga and Clarksville. 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.

Tennessee family law attorneys generally charge $250 to $450 an hour, and rates in Nashville and Memphis run higher than in smaller towns. Because each partner needs their own, hiring two separately commonly runs $2,600 to $11,200 for the couple. First is $649 flat for the couple, with online notarization included.

No. Tennessee's prenup statute does not require either partner to be represented by an attorney. What it requires is that each partner signed freely, knowledgeably and in good faith, and the Tennessee Supreme Court ties "knowledgeably" to full and fair financial disclosure or independent knowledge of the other partner's holdings. Both are within your control, and they are what First Self-Serve is built around.

Yes. Nothing in Tennessee law treats an agreement differently because of how it was produced. What matters is that both partners disclosed their finances fully, both signed freely and in good faith, and the agreement was drafted to Tennessee law. First Self-Serve is $649 for the couple and includes online notarization.

Tennessee's prenup statute does not require notarization or witnesses. Notarizing is still worth doing, because a notarized signature is straightforward evidence that both partners signed, and whether each signed freely is one of the first things a Tennessee court examines. First includes online notarization at no extra cost.

As early as you reasonably can. Tennessee has no statutory waiting period, but in Randolph v. Randolph, the Tennessee Supreme Court case that defines the disclosure test, the agreement was presented and signed the day before the wedding and did not hold up. Signing months ahead, after both partners have exchanged full financial disclosure and had a real chance to ask questions, removes that argument.

Yes. Self-Serve covers business ownership, stock, options and RSUs, real estate, inheritance and gifts, existing child support or alimony obligations, and alimony terms, all for $649 flat for the couple. If you'd like to talk your situation through first, book a free 20-minute call.

A Tennessee prenup can set out what happens to property each of you owned before the marriage, how property and debts are divided if the marriage ends, and alimony. The Tennessee Supreme Court held in Cary v. Cary that a voluntary and knowing waiver or limitation of alimony in a prenup will be fully enforced, unless enforcing it would leave the spouse who gave up alimony a public charge.
