Seeking additional legal protections for your assets is not something that stops after marriage. Even if you were not able to get a prenuptial agreement before you got married, you can still pursue a postnuptial agreement. Postnups are taken a bit more seriously by California courts, as the courts expect both parties to be fairer and more honest with a postnup. To ensure that your postnup is enforceable, you should contact a Solana Beach postnuptial agreement lawyer.

You will want to make sure every aspect of your case is handled correctly, which is why you should hire a postnuptial agreement lawyer. Having someone by your side who knows what they’re doing and can provide you with the right kind of help can be indispensable.

It may be good to understand the rates of divorce and marriage throughout California, as that information can reinforce your own decisions. Recent data from World Population Review shows the marriage rate in California at around 46% as of 2025. Additional data from the U.S. Census Bureau sets the divorce rate in California at only 5.9 per 1,000 women as of 2022. If you need help drafting a postnup, you should contact a family law attorney.
Married individuals who pursue a postnuptial agreement may have other problems in their marriage that should be addressed. Drafting a postnup can help, but only if your partner agrees to it. You may want to consider some couples counseling to address issues of mistrust or hurt feelings that may have led to the postnup. Local groups like Love Life Relationship Therapy or Sol Inspired Counseling can give you a chance to talk through your concerns with your partner.
When it comes to drafting a postnuptial agreement, the most important thing you want to focus on is making sure the agreement is enforceable. If you decide to get divorced with a postnup, you want to make sure you have that added protection. A postnup needs to be agreed upon by both parties, properly notarized, in writing, and completely fair. It also needs to have a full and honest list of all assets and debts. A good lawyer can help you meet these requirements.
At Andy Cook Law, we can assist you in drafting your postnup or modifying an existing one. Contact us to speak to someone on our team who can help you.
