Answer:
One term of international prenuptial agreements that is often of critical significance is the choice of law clause. It may be possible to select the governing law in a prenuptial agreement, although this must be carefully evaluated.
Not all jurisdictions will allow pre-nuptial agreements to be enforced and that the requirements for prenuptial agreements to be valid vary also among international jurisdictions and even, to some extent, within the states of the U.S.
