Prenuptial Agreements: Effectively Protecting Your Rights, Assets & Future

At Fenchel Family Law PC, we help clients with a number of family legal issues. When it comes to preparing for marriage, our San Francisco prenuptial agreement attorneys help couples draft premarital agreements that keep their assets protected and safeguard them from debt.

Our San Francisco prenuptial agreement lawyers recommend a prenuptial agreement when:

  • There are significant assets involved
  • A large inheritance is due to come soon
  • Parents want to distribute separate property to their children from a prior relationship
  • The parties want to avoid conflict in the event of a divorce
  • The couple wants to clarify the financial rights and responsibilities of each party during the marriage
  • One party is starting a business

Contact us at (415) 805-9069 now for a professional assessment to discover if a prenuptial agreement is right for you.

 

How Long Does a Prenup Last in California?

Prenuptial agreements typically last for the duration of the marriage. However, prenups may include provisions that expire, such as an agreement that neither spouse receives spousal support unless the couple has been married for at least 10 years.

Can a Prenup Be Done After Marriage?

A prenuptial agreement must be signed before marriage. However, if a couple is already married, they do have the option of creating a postnuptial agreement.

Will a Prenup Protect My House?

A prenuptial agreement can protect the rights and obligations of both spouses with respect to property. For example, if one spouse owned the house before marriage, the prenup could outline that this spouse would be responsible for maintaining the property. It could also include provisions regarding what happens to the house in case the spouses separate or one passes away. To learn more about what a prenup can and cannot protect, contact our San Francisco prenuptial agreement lawyer today.

What Happens If I Don’t Have a Prenuptial Agreement?

Not everyone who gets married creates a prenuptial agreement. However, as the day of your wedding approaches, you should be aware of what could happen if you get married without having a prenuptial agreement in place.

When there is no premarital contract:

  • The property earned or acquired during the marriage will be split 50/50 between the spouses in the event of a divorce
  • Either spouse can demand ongoing spousal support during and after the divorce
  • Divorces can often be more challenging since you and your spouse will have to reach an agreement on several issues during a time when tensions could be very high
