Answer to Question 1

Palimony

Answer to Question 2

Although premarital agreements regarding the disposition of property upon death had been enforced for many years, agreements relating to disposition of property upon divorce were considered per se invalid because they appeared to threaten the institution of marriage by providing a financial incentive for divorce. They were also considered unfair to women who, as homemakers were viewed as not capable of negotiating contracts and protecting their interests as well as men who were experienced in the world of work and business dealings. (Reference the Posner case.)The evolution has been from nonenforcement to a traditional fairness approach treating the parties as fiduciaries (reference procedural and substantive fairness and the second look doctrine), to a contractual (unconscionability) approach reflected in the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act (page 47 the text).
