A prenuptial or postnuptial agreement is a contract between two parties to a marriage or a domestic partnership that sets out the division of assets in the event of separation, divorce, or death. Prenuptial agreements are entered into prior to marriage or the filing of a domestic partnership and postnuptial agreements are entered into after the marriage or filing of a domestic partnership has occurred but prior to separation, divorce or death. A Postnuptial Agreement drafted in anticipation or contemplation of separation or divorce is typically deemed unenforceable by the courts.

Under California Law, each party to a prenuptial or postnuptial contract should be represented by separate legal counsel. This is recommended as a protective measure to ensure that the individual being bound by the contract obtains objective, outside legal advice, and theoretically helps prevent the signing party from being subjected to undue pressure.

Prenuptial Agreement Attorney Jeffrey Novack drafts prenuptial and postnuptial agreements while setting forth the terms of asset distribution and spousal support in the event of separation, divorce or death. He also reviews prenuptial and postnuptial agreements on behalf of the party being asked to enter into the agreement.

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are generally enforceable absent a showing of fraud, duress, or the inclusion of clauses that are against public policy. Therefore, it is imperative that both parties protect their interests by having an experienced family law lawyer review the documents prior to signing.
