Every couple is unique and brings different assets, goals and expectations to marriage. When the standard marriage laws of a state do not provide the protection that individuals are looking for, they often enter into marital agreements tailored to their specific needs and concerns.
At the Law Offices of Cherie T. Davis, our Livermore prenuptial agreement attorneys work closely with individuals who are planning for marriage, or are already married, to craft personalized agreements that protect their rights.
Prenuptial And Postnuptial Agreements In California
Premarital and post-marital agreements can be used to achieve a wide variety of objectives. At the Law Offices of Cherie T. Davis, we frequently advise on, draft or review agreements that aim to:
- Identify an individual's personal property
- Protect the inheritance rights of children from previous marriages
- Specify spousal support provisions in the event of a divorce
- Safeguard a family-owned business
Our dedicated family law attorneys are passionate about helping individuals make informed decisions that consider all aspects of their lives. We take the time to explain to our clients the effects of California's marriage laws and the possibilities that are available to them through a prenuptial or post-nuptial agreement.
In order to be valid, agreements that alter a couple's marital rights must conform to a number of legal regulations. California law requires that:
- Parties enter into an agreement under their own free will and not under coercion
- Parties had the opportunity to consult independent council
- Each party is given sufficient time to review the agreement before the wedding
- A full and fair disclosure of all assets is made by both parties
