Costa Mesa Marriage Contract Lawyers
A prenuptial agreement is a contract entered into by individuals prior to marriage that may significantly affect their rights in the event of a divorce. California courts may uphold prenuptial agreements that are properly created and executed. However, California courts have on many occasions chosen not to enforce prenuptial agreements due to lack of full financial disclosure and other defects in the creation, review or execution of an agreement.
Both parties entering into a prenuptial agreement should have separate legal counsel. Both parties should have separate legal counsel to review the agreement and ensure that they are properly advised about the agreement's potential impact on their rights.
