When you are about to get married, and you have significant assets you feel are worth protecting, you should hire a prenuptial agreement lawyer to help you figure out what to do next. It’s common for some people to see a prenup as an insult, a sign of mistrust, or even a threat. In those cases, you may want to use the prenup as a test to see if your partner is with you for love or money. Andy Cook is a Certified Family Law Specialist (CFLS) and can help you through this.
According to recent data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau, the divorce rate in California is quite low at only 5.9 per 1,000 women as of 2022. California’s marriage rate is also quite low at only 46.6% as of 2025, according to data from World Population Review. If you choose to get married when you have significant assets, you may want to seriously consider a prenuptial agreement.
When you suggest a prenup to your partner, there’s a chance they may see it as an attack on the relationship itself. They may feel like you don’t trust them or that you’re already preparing for a divorce. You may want to consider attending couples counseling to address these issues. A local support group like Healing Hearts Counseling Center or S.A.G.E. Therapy Center can be helpful in identifying the source of this mistrust and helping both of you work through it together.
In California, for a prenuptial agreement to be legally enforceable, it needs to be in writing, signed voluntarily by both parties, contain a full disclosure of all assets, and be fair to both parties in the event of divorce. Each partner must be represented by their own legal counsel, and the prenup cannot dictate child custody or child support. To ensure all of these conditions are met properly, you should contact a lawyer.
At Andy Cook Law, we can help you put a prenup together that’s legally binding. Contact us to speak to someone about your case.
