Does a verbal premarital agreement with credible witnesses stand up in court?

Unfortunately in the case of premarital underage sex, it will most likely not hold up especially if the child whose parents are pressing charges is still at the age where the parents can charge even if the child says they did and still do want it. In Missouri that age is 16, under 16 the parents can charge even if the child is the same age as the other and says they were a willing participant.

I'm pretty sure that you do need one or that there is a written agreement that all people involved have and have signed.Another answer:An oral agreement or contract does not inherently require witnesses. However, as there is no physical record of such an agreement, without witnesses, the nature of the agreement, or even if an agreement exists becomes a matter of one's word against another. As such, oral agreements, and especially non-witnessed ones, are not typically considered secure.

You had a verbal agreement with someone and they have broken it and now they have issued a claim form on you What would happen in court?
ADDED: I disagree with the previous answer. In my experience, verbal agreements are NOT admissable in court. Unless there were witnesses to the agreement who can be produced for testimony, if you cannot prove via signed paperwork that an agreement was made, it is a case of one's word against the other. You MAY find a judge/magistrate willing to hear your argument and attempt to get the two of you to mediate a settlement, but a verbal agreement is NOT legally enforceable. -end- Verbal agreements/contracts are admissible in Court. When you say a claim form has been issued do you mean a Summons? You have received notification of a Small Claims Court filing? The person suing you will present his/her evidence, including his/her version of your oral agreement, and you will present your evidence, including your version of your oral agreeement, the Judge will listen to both sides and decide which is more credible - and either deny the other person's claim or give the other person a Judgment against you.

In Kentucky is a verbal agreement legally binding?
A properly written contract, signed by both parties, is tangible evidence of an agreement that is indisputably "legally binding".Generally, the problem with verbal agreements is that there is no evidence they exist. There is only a "he said, and he said" situation. In order to bind the other party to a verbal agreement, the moving party would need to bring an action in a court of equity and provide the judge with enough outside evidence that there was a verbal contract between the parties and the other party has breached it. Without compelling outside evidence such as witnesses, the judge cannot find that any contract existed between the parties.
