Duress can take other forms, unless we are really trying to differentiate general 'coercion' here. Perhaps as an example of the blurred line; Pre-nup agreement

Duress can take other forms, unless we are really trying to differentiate general 'coercion' here.
Perhaps as an example of the blurred line; Pre-nup agreements sprung the day of the wedding, will not hold up in a US court with a competent lawyer challenging them.
You can try to call it 'economic' duress but any non-sociopath sees there are other factors at play.
- singleshot_ 2y agoThat’s a really good point. Was this a prenuptial agreement? If it wasn’t May take is section 174 would apply and we would be talking about physical compulsion — and not “it’s a preferable economic situation to sign.” Not a sociopath, just know the law.
