Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements

Protecting Your Assets Before or After Marriage

Whether you are planning to marry or are already married, a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement can help define how property, debts, and spousal support will be handled if a divorce or legal separation occurs. These agreements are especially important for individuals with significant assets, business interests, prior marriages, children from previous relationships, or substantial financial obligations. At the Law Offices of Soda & Greenberg, we help clients create clear, enforceable agreements tailored to their unique circumstances.

A prenuptial agreement-also known as a premarital agreement or "prenup"-is a legal contract signed before marriage that outlines how assets, debts, and financial responsibilities will be addressed if the marriage ends. When properly drafted in accordance with California law, a prenup can reduce uncertainty, protect individual interests, and prevent future disputes.

A postnuptial agreement is a similar legal contract entered into after a couple is already married. It allows spouses to define or modify property rights, financial obligations, and other marital terms. For a postnuptial agreement to be valid in California, both spouses must provide full and accurate disclosure of their income, assets, debts, and financial obligations, and each party must clearly understand the agreement and enter into it voluntarily.

At the Law Offices of Soda & Greenberg, we take a strategic, personalized approach to every agreement. Because no two clients or financial situations are alike, we tailor each document to reflect your specific goals, assets, and future considerations. Our process typically includes:

• Initial Consultation - We listen carefully to your concerns, explain your legal rights, and outline available options.
• Strategy & Planning - We identify your objectives and determine the legal structure best suited to protect your interests.
• Drafting the Agreement - We prepare a comprehensive, legally compliant agreement that reflects full financial disclosure and protects your rights.
• Review & Finalization - We guide you through revisions and ensure the final agreement is clear, enforceable, and aligned with California law.

A well-drafted marital agreement can provide clarity, reduce conflict, and protect your financial future. Our firm combines legal precision with a practical strategy to help clients enter marriage-or continue it-with confidence and peace of mind.
