Jennifer Jeffrey Stancil v. Paul Edwin Stancil

Jennifer Jeffrey Stancil (“Wife”) filed for divorce against her husband, Paul Edwin Stancil (“Husband”), in the Circuit Court for Hamilton County (“the Trial Court”). In the course of the divorce, Wife filed a motion for temporary alimony. Husband, in his response to Wife’s motion, alleged that an antenuptial agreement precluded Wife from receiving any alimony. Wife asserted that the antenuptial agreement was invalid. After a trial, the Trial Court held that the antenuptial agreement was enforceable. Wife appeals. We hold that, as Wife was misled into signing the antenuptial agreement and adequate disclosure was not made, the antenuptial agreement is invalid. We reverse.
