California Prenuptial Agreement Attorney
Premarital Agreements
Forget the stigma about a “pre-nup!” If you really love someone and you’re a mature person who realizes that life happens, you may also want to protect your future spouse and yourself from having to go through a “nasty” divorce. Sitting down as mature adults and figuring out a plan for if the worst case scenario happens is a loving, respectful thing to do, similar to creating an estate plan.
A well-crafted prenuptial agreement isn’t about expecting the worst, it’s about protecting what matters most and creating clarity before you say “I do.” Our California prenuptial agreement attorneys help couples build strong financial foundations with clear, fair, enforceable agreements tailored to your relationship and goals.
Whether you're entering a marriage with significant assets, children from a previous relationship, a business, or simply a desire for transparency, a prenup protects both partners and removes the stress around “what ifs.”
Why Consider a Prenuptial Agreement?
A modern prenup is about clarity and partnership. Clients come to us for prenups because they want:
Protection of premarital assets
Clear division of property and debts
Protection of business ownership or professional practices
Financial expectations defined upfront
Certainty and reduced conflict in the event of separation
Safeguards for children from previous relationships
Peace of mind entering a major life transition
Prenups are no longer taboo, they are smart planning.
California Prenup Requirements
For a prenup to be enforceable in California, certain rules must be followed under the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act (UPAA).
Some requirements include:
Full financial disclosure from both partners
Agreements must be in writing
Each party should have the opportunity to consult independent counsel
No coercion or pressure
A mandatory 7-day review period before signing

Post-Marital Agreements (Postnups)
If you didn’t create a prenup before the wedding, a post-marital agreement, often called a postnup, can still provide clarity and protection. Postnups help couples define separate vs. community property, set financial expectations, and adjust for life changes such as new businesses, major assets, or shifting financial roles.
They’re especially useful when circumstances change after marriage and you want clear agreements in place moving forward. If you’d like to explore whether a postnup makes sense for your situation, feel free to reach out through our Contact Us page.
