While California law does not require both parties to have a lawyer, it is strongly recommended. If one party does not have independent legal counsel, the court may scrutinize the agreement more closely and could find it unenforceable if it’s deemed unfair or if the party did not fully understand the terms before signing.
A prenup can outline how assets and debts are divided in case of divorce, specify property rights during the marriage, and determine spousal support terms. It can also address business interests, inheritance rights, and financial responsibilities during the marriage. However, it cannot include child custody or child support provisions.
Yes, but courts will examine such waivers carefully. If the waiver is deemed unfair or if one spouse would be left financially vulnerable, a judge may modify or reject the provision.
California law requires that a prenup be signed at least seven days before the wedding. However, it’s best to start the process several months in advance to allow for careful review, negotiations, and legal counsel.
Yes. A prenup can be challenged if one party can prove it was signed under duress, there was fraud (such as hiding assets), it was unconscionable at the time of signing, or one party did not have an opportunity to consult a lawyer before signing.
Yes, a well-drafted prenup can alter how assets are divided compared to California’s default community property rules, which generally require a 50/50 split of marital property. The agreement must clearly state the parties’ intentions regarding asset division to be enforceable.
No, a prenuptial agreement cannot be changed after marriage. Instead, you would need to create a postnuptial agreement, which functions similarly but is executed after the wedding.
