Answer:
In New Jersey, if the marriage is declared void, then a premarital agreement that would have been valid and enforceable if the marriage was valid, would be enforceable only to the extent that would be necessary to avoid an unjust result to both the parties.N.J. Stat. § 37:2-39
If a marriage or civil union is determined to be void, an agreement that would otherwise have been a premarital or pre-civil union agreement is enforceable only to the extent necessary to avoid an inequitable result.”
