Explain in your own words in no more than two sentences. • From the Bonds case on pages 118-119 of the texbook, identify the elements (rules of law) that a court considers necessary for a premarital agreement to be considered voluntary. • Discuss the Court's reasoning in reversing the decision of the Court of Appeals, i.e., why did the Court find that Sun Bonds signed voluntarily? • Let's pretend that Barry and Sun Bonds resided in Connecticut and Barry sought to enforce the agreement and Sun sought to set it aside. Describe the procedure that each of them would follow to achieve their respective result. See Connecticut Practice Book Section 25-2A in your required reading. • Now pretend that Barry and Sun Bonds resided in Connecticut; however, in this scenario Barry passed away while they were still married. Their premarital agreement indicated that Sun waived any and all rights to Barry's estate. How does Connecticut General Statutes 45a-436(f) in your required reading relate to this issue? (First explain what 45a-436 is, then how subsection 45a-436(f) applies to these facts).
