Asked on Dec 03rd, 2014 on Divorce - New Jersey
More details to this question:
If one party signs a prenup waiving her financial rights to alimony or a settlement, after 10 years of marriage is that still binding? Can the spouse remove all financial support for a spouse that has been a stay at home mother for 10 years?

Alimony is not the same as child support for the children. You cannot waive child support and any agreement that supposedly waives child support in not enforceable. The prenuptial agreement may not be applicable to joinlty held assets acquired during marriage. You have to have an attorney review the prenuptial.
