LOS ANGELES PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENT ATTORNEY

Prenuptial Agreements are among the most misunderstood aspects of California family law. Contrary to what some people believe, prenuptial agreements are not designed by people who are not committed to their spouse. A premarital agreement is a tool that allows couple to negotiate in advance customized solutions instead of relying on what California law generally provides. Prenuptial agreements allow spouses to plan their financial future together, including the establishment of protections in the event something happens to either spouse and ensure that the spouses are entering into the marriage with full financial disclosure.

Prenuptial agreements are particularly helpful when couples have complex personal and business lives. They can establish how property will be treated or divided in the event of divorce or death and can limit the amount of spousal support that will be paid if the parties divorce.
