Melinda Crews v. Stephen Crews

Summary

The court affirmed the Appellate Court's determination that the parties' antenuptial agreement was enforceable. It held that the enforceability question under the third prong of the governing common-law test is a mixed question of law and fact subject to plenary review, and that the trial court had not properly shown that later circumstances were beyond the parties' contemplation or that enforcement would cause injustice. The court concluded that the parties' financial circumstances, continued employment, asset growth, children, and marital arrangements were consistent with the agreement's terms and purposes.
