What is a Prenuptial Agreement?
A prenuptial agreement is a contract made by an engaged couple which goes into effect when they marry. This agreement generally concerns financial issues, such as defining property and property rights in the event of a divorce or death of one of the partners. Spousal support may also be addressed in a prenuptial agreement although this issue may or may not be enforceable depending on the financial circumstances of the spouses at the time it becomes relevant and whether or not they had independent legal counsel when the agreement was made.
Court-Enforceable Prenuptial Agreements in California
To be enforceable by the courts, certain legal formalities must be followed in the execution of a prenuptial agreement. The parties must provide full financial disclosure, the agreement must not be unconscionable in its terms for either party, nor must it be made under duress or with coercion, and the parties must understand all aspects of the agreement. Independent legal representation for each party provides them with protection. In California, it is required that a 7-day waiting period must elapse between the time the agreement is presented to a party and when it is signed.
