Answer:
In Virginia, you can amend a premarital agreement after marriage. However, any amendment must be in writing and signed by both parties. Oral amendments are not allowed under the law. This is specified in Va. Code Ann. § 20-153, which states that a premarital agreement can only be amended or revoked by a written agreement signed by both parties, and such amendments are enforceable without consideration.
