OVERVIEW

Prenuptial Agreements

Prenuptial agreements (also now as Pre-Marital Agreements) are versatile tools which sound simple but do have many particular nuances. The prenuptial agreement allows spouses to make critical decisions on key financial details before the marriage begins including issues such as the division of property, spousal support that will be awarded should a divorce occur, and can be used to protect a spouse’s assets or children from a prior marriage should the marriage end in divorce or because of the death of one spouse.

Fair Representation Informed by Knowledge of the Law

The current version of California’s Premarital Agreement Act is contained in Family Code Sections 1600-1617. Family Code Section 1615 places on the party seeking to avoid enforcement the burden of demonstrating that the agreement was involuntary. (In Re Marriage of Bonds (2000) 24 Cal. 4th 1, at 37.)

Many formalities must be followed to make sure that such agreements are not later declared “void” by a court. For example, all prenuptial agreement executed after January 1, 2002 are deemed to be involuntary and therefore unenforceable unless the court finds that all of the Section 1615 requirements are met.
