How long before the wedding should we start the process of getting a prenup?

Ideally, the process for getting a premarital agreement should be started
at least 2-3 months in advance of the wedding. Unfortunately, many people
do not get around to starting the process of getting a prenup until very
close to the wedding. When a premarital agreement is signed close in time
to the wedding day, or even on the day of the wedding, it becomes much
more likely that the agreement will be voided upon a challenge. This is
because some courts find as a factor in voluntariness of the prenup the
fact that the party would suffer humiliation if the wedding were called
off due to refusal to sign a prenup. It is far better to handle the business
of the premarital agreement well in advance of the wedding.
