ALBANY, N.Y. (Reuters) – A paperwork error rendered a Rochester couple’s prenuptial agreement invalid, and the husband could not save the pact by filing an affidavit during divorce proceedings 10 years later, the Court of Appeals has ruled.
A six-judge panel on Thursday unanimously agreed with Michelle Galetta, who claimed that a prenuptial agreement between her and Gary Galetta was defective because it didn’t have an accompanying statement that the husband had proven his identity to a notary.
