What Is a Premarital Agreement?

Family Code Section 1610 defines a premarital agreement as "an agreement between prospective spouses made in contemplation of marriage and to be effective upon marriage" and must be in writing and signed by the parties. Unlike other contracts, the agreement is enforceable without consideration. An agreement can be modified or revoked only by a written agreement and signed by the parties.

The Uniform Premarital Agreement Act applies to any premarital agreement executed on or after January 1, 1986. Under the Act, parties may agree to terms including, but not limited to, property rights, so long as it is not promotive of divorce, life insurance benefits, and choice of law. Further, the Act prohibits certain terms, including but not limited to, an adverse affect on child support and unconscionable terms.

These agreements must be carefully drafted specifically for the individuals involved. As many such agreements are later challenged in court, the exact wording is critical. Even one word out of place can create serious problems.

  • Financial responsibilities of each spouse
  • What property each spouse owns and what is shared
  • Whether any alimony will be given and how much
  • Who will be liable for certain debts
