Uniform Premarital Agreement Act

Read a random definition: consolidated sentence

A quick definition of Uniform Premarital Agreement Act:

The Uniform Premarital Agreement Act is a law that helps people make fair agreements before they get married. It makes sure that the rules for these agreements are the same in different states. The law talks about important things like how to share money and property if the couple gets divorced, and who will take care of the children. It also treats agreements made after the wedding the same as those made before.

A more thorough explanation:

The Uniform Premarital Agreement Act is a law that helps make sure prenuptial agreements are consistent from state to state. This means that people who are getting married can choose a state to make their prenuptial agreement in, and the agreement will be valid in other states too. The law also covers important issues related to marriage, such as how property will be divided and who will take care of any children.

For example, let's say that John and Jane are getting married in California, but they plan to move to New York after the wedding. They want to make a prenuptial agreement to decide how their property will be divided if they ever get divorced. Thanks to the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act, they can make the agreement in California and it will still be valid in New York.

The law also treats postnuptial agreements and premarital agreements the same way. This means that if John and Jane decide to make an agreement after they get married, it will have the same requirements and principles as their prenuptial agreement.

@ImpartialLion: I missed the NYU wave though and no YLS invite
I am sure we will all get into great places
I feel like NYU will come with time and it's a mess due to app increases. YLS is such a weird invite tho. 30% conversion rate

I like that Chicago specifically says don't recite shit from our website
I'm hoping so. I feel like my PS might've been too personal or too whiney. I feel like it either hits or totally whiffs depending on who reads it
UVA loved it, but HLS and Chicago don't seem to love it as much
hey UVA hates me, so the process is fairly random
