FAQ
Prenups last, usually by their terms, for the entire length of the marriage. However, prenups sometimes include provisions that expire. The most common one might be an agreement that there's going to be no spousal support unless they are married for at least 10 years.
You should sign a prenuptial agreement prior to the marriage, because by definition a premarital agreement is one that is entered into before marriage. If you are considering marriage, consider entering into a prenuptial agreement early, since there are legal consequences for signing a prenup too close to your wedding.
Any indication of coercion or lack of willingness can give way for a divorce judge to overturn the agreement. A written agreement should be reviewed by an experienced family law attorney prior to completion of the agreement. Premarital agreements must be signed in front of witnesses and must be notarized.
When should we sign our prenuptial agreement? You should sign your prenuptial agreement well in advance of your marriage ceremony (it's recommended not less than 30 days before the wedding).
Prenuptial agreements do not expire, unless they have a specific clause in them stating the agreement expires after a certain length of marriage (very uncommon).
If a spouse is able to prove non-disclosure of all previous assets or property, then the prenuptial agreement can be considered void. Second, if a spouse is able to prove that he or she was compelled to sign the prenuptial agreement under stressful circumstances, then the prenup can be invalidated.
As long as you and your spouse agree, your prenuptial agreement can be changed. To create an amendment to a prenup, you can either add to the original contract or sign a separate contract that modifies the terms of the initial agreement.
What Could Invalidate a Prenup? Failing to fulfill any of California's prenuptial agreement requirements could result in a prenup the courts will not enforce. Examples include having a verbal contract, forcing one spouse to sign involuntarily, skipping legal requirements and including unfair terms in the agreement.
Prenuptial agreements may be nullified or declared void in some situations. Certain clauses could also be voided if they are unconscionable or forbidden by law. For example, a prenup can't decide issues of child support or child custody.
