Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a postnuptial agreement valid in California?
Both spouses must sign voluntarily, disclose all financial information honestly, and fully understand the agreement’s terms. Each person should have time to review and consult with legal counsel if they wish.
Can a postnuptial agreement cover decisions about children?
Typically, California courts do not enforce agreements about future child custody or child support. These issues are handled separately based on the child’s best interests at the time.
How do postnuptial agreements differ from prenuptial agreements?
Prenuptial agreements are signed before marriage, while postnuptial agreements are created after a couple is already married. Both set terms for property and finances, but the timing and some legal standards differ.
Will the court always enforce a postnuptial agreement?
A court may set aside a postnuptial agreement if it finds signs of coercion, incomplete disclosure, or unfair terms. That’s why clarity, fairness, and proper documentation from both parties are essential.
Is it necessary for both spouses to have separate lawyers?
California law does not require both spouses to have their own lawyer, but independent legal advice helps both parties understand their rights and the impact of the agreement.
