FLAT FEE, ATTORNEY-DRIVEN AGREEMENTS

A prenup is not just a document.
It's an investment in your future.

Thoughtful pricing, real legal protection.

Other prenup services might advertise very low, upfront prices.

While this might appear economical at first, these options are typically:

automated
form-based
not California-state specific
with little to no attorney involvement.

These factors directly affect enforceability.

Be especially wary of websites that do not include the actual attorneys who will be working on your agreement. An experienced attorney can be the difference between an enforceable and unenforceable agreement.

frequently asked questions

We’re here to answer your questions.

We've answered the questions we hear most often from engaged couples considering a prenup. If you have additional questions, we're here to help.

Why do I need a prenuptial agreement?

A prenup provides clarity and protection for both partners. California is a community property state, meaning assets acquired during marriage are split 50/50 in divorce—regardless of who earned them. A prenup lets you define your own terms and protects pre-existing assets, businesses, and future inheritance.

What happens if we don't have a prenup and get divorced?

Without a prenup, California's community property laws apply. All income, assets, and debts acquired during marriage are split 50/50, regardless of who earned them or whose name is on the account. A prenup allows you to define your own terms instead of relying on state defaults.

We don't have many assets now. Do we still need a prenup?

A prenup isn't just about current assets—it's about your financial future. It addresses future earnings, businesses you may start, inheritances you may receive, and debts you may incur. It's much easier to create these protections now than to wish you had them later.

Can a prenup cover spousal support (alimony)?

Yes, prenups can address spousal support arrangements. You can agree to waive it entirely, set specific amounts, or establish conditions. However, California law requires these provisions to be fair and reasonable at the time of enforcement.

What can't be included in a prenuptial agreement?

California law prohibits prenups from addressing child custody or child support—courts always decide these based on the child's best interests at the time of divorce. Prenups also cannot contain illegal provisions or waive rights to disclosure of assets.

My partner and I drafted our own prenup and just need independent counsel for a review. Can you help with this?

While we understand the appeal of DIY prenups, we're unable to review or edit self-drafted agreements. Here's why: California prenups require very specific legal language and must meet strict technical requirements that vary significantly from other states. Even popular services like Legal Zoom don't adequately address California's unique laws, and AI tools like ChatGPT can't capture the legal nuances necessary for an enforceable agreement.

In our experience, self-drafted prenups rarely meet California's legal standards, which means they risk being invalidated when you need them most. Instead of attempting to fix a document with potential fundamental flaws, we offer to draft a fresh, legally compliant prenup for our standard flat fee. This approach ensures both parties are properly protected under California law.

Do we need to find our own notary?

No. We coordinate secure remote online notarization as part of our services, allowing you to complete execution from anywhere without arranging a local notary. This service is included in all our flat-fee pricing at no additional cost to you.
