Liar Liar: Prenuptial agreement was invalid

[@yonatielu3881]

It's funny because when we watched this as kids we were siding with Jim Carrey's character but now that we watch it again we sympathize with the poor man who loses half his estate.

[@AmarGlen]

And his children too... That’s a bit heart breaking... Poor guy...

[@AmarGlen]

@Thomas Buchovecky Watch the climax of this in other video... she doesn’t stop with the half she takes his children too for more money...

[@AmarGlen]

@Thomas Buchovecky No arguments there... I just said it’s heartbreaking to watch someone lose both their money and also their children especially when that person is good... This case is about the good losing against the bad... I guess reality is harsh, need to accept and move on... I am not sure...

[@ConradKurze]

@Thomas Buchoveckythat still hard, it's not like he have 22 mill $ in cash, it's all he worth. probably will have to sell a lot of property, cars, house, shares.

As a kid I never realized how ridiculous this plotline is to suggest a team of competent lawyers wouldn't have caught on that the entire prenup was void when they had the birth certificate.

[@thephantompenance]

Like Jim Carry later says, it’s a technicality. Outside of her birth certificate and driver’s license, no one had a clue she changed her age. Even the husband didn’t know. I know from experience that once a lawyer has a good lead on where they want the case to go, they become so blind to other possibilities.

[@thephantompenance]

@@jsmith-u5i Like Jim Carry said “No minor can enter any legal contract without parental guidance/consent” meaning the prenup was void the moment she signed it. So throughout the entirety of their marriage that prenup was meaningless.

[@henrypeters5291]

@@jsmith-u5i I get what you are saying but the prenup was still invalid because she signed it when she was under 18. As a result, the prenup and very likely the marriage license were invalid and they would have had to enter into a new one once she turned 18. Think of it like this. The prenup and the marriage license were invalid so the terms of the settlement were decided by California common wealth law. Also, I should note, that given she was born in 1965, she likely would have been married in the 80s when divorce law was in its infancy.

[@dolphinsneu]

From imdb: Contracts with a minor are considered voidable, not void ab initio. A minor who enters into a contract can choose to avoid it, but if she turns 18, she only has a limited window in which to declare the intention to avoid the contract. This window is usually six months; for marriage in California, it is two years; past this window, the contract is considered ratified and must be executed. Given Samantha Cole's age at the time of the divorce hearing, both her marriage AND the prenup should have been considered ratified. However, even if the marriage were valid but the prenup not, her husband clearly states that he "didn't know she was a minor!" At this point he could probably get an annulment on the grounds of fraud, reverting Samantha to status quo ante matrimonium - i.e., legally in possession of none of his wealth.

[@BuckmeisterSupremeWithCheese]

Maybe, but thats a different case. This specific case only covers whether or not the prenup should be considered valid going forward. They'll have to set another court date to argue the fraudulence of the marriage itself.

[@nickpapageorgio926]

@@BuckmeisterSupremeWithCheese Did you not read the comment? the point is in the real world the judge would not have made the ruling that day because then the husband’s lawyer would say the prenup is still valid because she never voided it within the timeframe after turning 18.

@Kristoffer Pettersson Minimum age without parental consent is 18..... however, most states, including California, allows marriage under 18 with parental consent. Some states have age restrictions even with Parental consent but California is not one of them. "Every state except Delaware, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and New Jersey allows a person under 18 years old to marry: If one or more of the following apply: consent of the parents or legal guardians of the minor consent of a court clerk or judge if the minor is emancipated." Or you could just go to California Family code 300 and find the actual wording: (a) An unmarried person under 18 years of age may be issued a marriage license upon obtaining a court order granting permission to the underage person or persons to marry, in accordance with the requirements described in Section 304 . (b) The court order and written consent of at least one of the parents or the guardian of each underage person shall be filed with the clerk of the court, and a certified copy of the order shall be presented to the county clerk at the time the marriage license is issued.

Stat. §23-2502; Kan. Stat. §23-2714) Montana: Not strictly prohibited, they are not invalidated by the Marriage Chapter (Mont.

However, prenap is invalidated because of the one time and probably due to the fact that maybe they had never reviewed it.

When dealing with contracts of this type, a minor cannot be bound. In California, each spouse or partner owns one-half of the community property. In other words, she gets HALF.

Whether she intended to fleece him in a divorce or just intended to be financially supported by him, either way it's intent to commit theft by fraud, in the sense of acquiring money or items of value under false pretenses. Here's the thing they glossed over or ignored: while bizarrely there is no minimum age to get married in California *with parental consent* (said consent must be in writing and witnessed by the court), the minimum age to get married *without parental consent* in California is 18. So, at 17, she was not legally able to enter into the marriage either. Therefore, not only is the prenuptial agreement null and void, so is the marriage. She could argue common-law marriage (if you live together and present yourself as married long enough, you are considered married for purposes of law), but since she entered into the marriage fraudulently and the husband presented them as married due to that deceit, he could challenge that. She'd also have a harder time getting custody (and thereby child support).

[@ericfleming5522]

@@woodrobin No. The mens rea element in California requires specific intent to defraud. It also is not "theft by fraud" because at the time of the misrepresentation she didn't intend to permantly deprive any lawful owner of his property, which is a necessary element of a theft or larceny. Ironically, if she'd known ahead of time that she could use the fact she was underage to defeat the prenuptial agreement, you might be able to persuade a jury that this was her specific intent all along. The fact that Jim Carey had to figure it out while he was sitting at counsel's table suggests she lacked the necessary criminal intent.

If she can’t enter a legal agreement she can’t get married either therefore the marriage is annulled and she gets nothing.

[@soldierof239]

In a civil divorce they’re observing the common law nature of their marriage. She was by definition his wife.

[@amysmileyreid95]

Fun fact: Jennifer Tilly felt so bad about yelling at the kids when she drags them away she bought them toys and presents to say sorry 😊

[@Keegeth]

ill be honest, I'm still confused about the ruling. she was married at the age of 17 which means the prenuptial agreement is void so how tf does she automatically get half of the guy's money?

[@Figs3]

Meaning that the marriage was real. But the prenup was void. And after the divorce she gets his money. A lot of it has to do with how the justice system works in our country. Like "She's used to a certain lifestyle" or "she needs all that money to help her with the kids" it's not right but that's just how it is. .

[@johnnycajxrt]

Adding on to what Figs said, California is a “no-fault state” when it comes to divorce, no matter what happens, the assets are split 50/50, unless one party claims domestic violence.

[@Keegeth]

@@johnnycajxrt That’s so fucked up. So a millionaire Gets married to a girl working minimum wage for 1 year then they get a divorce, she automatically gets half his fucking money? When I get married I’m definitely writing a prenuptial agreement.

[@justinbailey1756]

If the prenuptial agreement is void, than the marriage is void. and the women isn't' entitled to shit. I'm lost of the logic of this film.

[@dannytheman1313]

The thing is the husband could still technically win the case if he appeals having learned that she was under the age of 18 means that she committed fraud when she signed the contract. This would in fact open her up to a whole new list of lawsuits, worst thing that happened to this guy is that he lost the kids for a week.

[@ceechristine7269]

You know it kills me about this they tried to say that the prenuptial agreement was void because she was a minor given the age of consent laws except she tricked her ex-husband into entering a legally binding agreement under false pretense

If she lied on legal documents in order to get married then the marriage license is void and she is entitled to nothing.

Only if the client came to the 1st consultation with all of her evidence which they never do.

[@rayagranum2780]

It amazes me how lame the closed captioning is, some movies it shows them saying things they didn't say and on others like this one it misses what they do say.

[@uriatare9927]

Eh.. The law of California states that you can only be married when you turn 18, so she can’t possibly be entitled to any of the money.
