Your post doesn't give enough information but yes pre-nups can be fought.

However, OP needs to realize that 'I was planning a wedding the next day and didn't want to disappoint anyone so I signed the prenup' probably doesn't meet the legal definition of duress. Many people confuse 'pressure' with 'duress'.

Were you given the opportunity to take the pre-nup to YOUR attorney for review? I know there is something about pre-nups having to have independent attorney reviewing. Getting the prenup the day before the wedding probably didn't allow for that.

However prenups cannot be signed the day before the wedding and be found to be completely upheld. That IS a reason for them being struck down. Also not being informed of all financial information at the time of the prenup is another valid reason for the contract being voided.
