pre-nuptial validity question

09/24/11 04:15 PM

Hello, my wife and I are splitting and we have a pre-nuptial. We purchased a pre-nuptial form ourselves, no lawyer, signed it and had it notarized. In NY it seems, a prenuptial agreement, in order to be valid, must be signed or “acknowledged” in a very specific manner, which is referred to in the law as “in the same manner as would be required to record a deed"

What does this mean exactly? We do have an acknowledgment by a notary but all it says is:

"the foregoing instrument was acknowledged before me this 5th day of October 2000 by (name of wife), the above named prospective wife".

The same statements is made for the husband.

Is this a valid acknowledgement in NY for a pre-nuptial agremeent and will it hold up in court?
