If there is evidence, confession are not needed. Therefore, should confessions be invalid for similar reasons that are prenups invalid?

[Kelley1]

1. The agreement is fraudulent: A prenuptial agreement requires each spouse to make full disclosure of his/her assets. Therefore, the accused should have a full disclosure of the charges and penalties.

2. The agreement (confession) was coerced, signed under duress or signed without mental capacity.

3. You signed a prenup (confessed) without proper legal representation. Both parties (the party to a prenup (confession) should have separate and independent counsel. A state appointed counsel is not independent.

4. The prenup (confession) must be written. Oral prenups (confessions) are not valid.

The reading of your Miranda rights can be used to gather evidence but, except as noted above, failure to remain silent should not be considered a confession.

Dave Ramsey was against prenups unless one person is already wealthy and/or a celebrity. They are literally a prediction that the marriage won’t work out. That’s not how to look at it.

But one thing that needs to change is “common law” marriage bs. I know in my state if you cohabit with a significant other for longer then 6 months you are technically “married”. That needs to go away.

Which state is that?

What, are you pre-law? 😂

Actually, those points are a pretty high bar…

It is a contract and if signed then it is valid

Any judge can toss a prenup for any reason.
