Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

Pre-Nuptial Agreement

Can a pre-nuptial agreement be revoked if I was asked to sign within 24 hours of marriage and I did not have my own legal representation? I signed a pre-nupt within 24 to 48 hours of marriage. I did not know to have my own attorney, therefore my husbands attorney did the paperwork which I was asked to sign.
