Understanding Prenuptial Agreements in Southern California

A prenuptial agreement is a legal contract that is entered into prior to marriage. It outlines the wishes of each party with regard to financial matters in the event of divorce or dissolution of marriage.

While some people may view prenuptial agreements as pessimistic, they can actually be a positive tool for couples to consider. For instance, a prenuptial agreement can help a couple consider the financial impact of divorce before they tie the knot.

Furthermore, prenuptial agreements can help protect a person's assets in the event of divorce or death.

Key Elements of a Solid Prenuptial Agreement

Prenuptial agreements can include various provisions. For instance, a prenuptial agreement can include the following:

• Provisions regarding property ownership and division
• Provisions regarding spousal support
• Provisions regarding the disposition of property and assets
• Provisions regarding the disposition of assets in the event of death
