Will a prenuptial agreement speed up the divorce case?
I signed a prenuptial agreement before I was married. Now we are getting a divorce and I heard that this agreement could speed up the process. Is this true?

It may, depending on whether it addresses all the issues of the divorce.

A Prenuptial agreement can greatly expedite your divorce proceeding, because if it was done correctly, it will already cover all matters that are usually contested in divorce proceedings such as: bank accounts, property, children, etc. In matters where the divorce is uncontested, and there has been a prenuptial agreement, it is possible to have the divorce granted within a month after all the final documents have been filed. Make sure you attach a copy of the prenuptial agreement to your divorce papers so that the judge can see that all these matters have already been settled without judicial intervention.
