Family — prenuptial agreements – maintenance — attorney fees

James Hartford appeals a judgment of divorce from Karen Hartford. James argues that the circuit court erroneously exercised its discretion when it: (1) determined that the parties’ prenuptial agreement was unenforceable; (2) divided the parties’ property without utilizing the prenuptial agreement; (3) awarded maintenance to Karen in the amount of $4,000 per month for eight years without regard to the prenuptial agreement; and (4) ordered James to pay twenty-five percent of Karen’s attorney’s fees and costs. We affirm the circuit court’s exercise of discretion in all respects. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
