Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements

Some people believe that a prenuptial agreement is something only for the wealthy. The reality is that today more and more couples from a wide range of financial situations choose to sign a prenuptial agreement before marriage. There can be substantial benefits to such agreements, and they can often add a sense of stability and confidence to the modern marriage.

“Prenups” allow you to define how you and your future spouse’s financial lives will intermingle. You can protect your separate property and specify how and when, or even if, community property will be created in a legally binding document. You can even specify whether spousal support will be available in the event of a divorce. Prenups can also protect you from negative aspects of your future spouse’s financial situation, such as pre-existing debts.

A postnuptial agreement is often executed when the parties’ financial situations have changed or they wish to redefine their property rights and responsibilities under California law, or as stated in a prenuptial agreement.
