You obviously weren't paying attention. Steve asked for someone in Maui. :p

If you don't care at all about the quality of legal advice, why bother having a lawyer look it over?

I think prenups are only valid if each party has their own lawyer?

Surely you've noticed that nothing on Maui is cheap.

Get out the phone book and start calling. You'll likely get your answer faster that way than asking on BE; I doubt many members live in Hawaii.

He could call Dog the Bounty Hunter, he probably has a good attorney after his "trouble" a while ago:lol:

As far as I know there is no absolute requirement that either party must have a lawyer before entering into an agreement be it a pre-nuptial one or anything else.

It is, however, certainly the case that there have been successful challenges to pre-nuptial agreements where the disadvantaged party did not have the agreement reviewed by their own attorney.

As usual, every state is different and your mileage may vary ...
