Prenuptial Agreement Attorneys in California
Board-Certified Family Law Specialists helping protect your future
What is a Prenuptial Agreement?
A prenuptial agreement, antenuptial agreement, or premarital agreement is an agreement that defines the property and financial rights which would apply in the event of a divorce. Prospective spouses use premarital agreements to memorialize agreements regarding future spousal support, real property, businesses, inheritance funds, and retirement accounts in order to provide certainty and protect against the costly financial consequences of a divorce or legal separation.
Let our skillful attorneys at Cage & Miles help you write or review your premarital agreement in order to make sure it meets California state standards. Failure to properly draft a premarital agreement may render it unenforceable in California family courts. Call our family lawyers now to review the details of your prenup, or to discuss the details of an agreement you wish to make.
Prenuptial Agreements and California Law
The California family code and relevant case law governs the way property should be divided among spouses in the case of a divorce. These laws follow the community property system, which often splits assets 50/50. But this approach doesn’t fit every couple’s unique situation.
A prenup allows couples to customize their financial future by making agreements that deviate from default laws—offering flexibility and fairness. Before getting married, meeting with a family law attorney can help you understand your legal options and whether a prenuptial agreement makes sense for your relationship.
Be Prepared with a Premarital Agreement
Discussing a prenup while planning a wedding may feel uncomfortable—but waiting until after marriage removes this option entirely. California has strict rules about when and how prenups must be drafted, reviewed, and signed to be enforceable.
That’s why it’s best to consult an attorney early in the process. The more time between drafting and signing, the stronger your agreement will be.
