A divorcing Baldwin County couple has taken a dispute about its prenuptial agreement to the Georgia Supreme Court, according to a court summary. Angela Lawrence is appealing the decision of a trial court that ruled the prenuptial agreement she and her husband, G. Lawson Lawrence, entered into in February 2005 was valid and enforceable.

Her attorney, Martin Fierman, of Eatonton, argues that the prenuptial agreement is not binding because only one witness signed the agreement and because Lawson Lawrence did not fully disclose his income and assets. Under state law, any contract “made in contemplation of marriage” must be verified by at least two witnesses in order to be valid.
