Why Hire a Lawyer for a Prenuptial Agreement?
It seems like a simple concept: get a pre-packaged or online form for a premarital contract, sit down with your fiancé (or fiancée) to work out the details, fill it out, and sign it. Then on to discussions of the important details of a wedding: flowers, the number of attendants, renting the hall …

If you have a reason to sign a prenup, you should be sure you understand what protections it does or doesn't offer. Consider the following points:
- California community property law is complex, and even state-specific forms often fail to comply with current legal requirements.
- The success or failure of a prenuptial agreement lies in the details. You may have a false sense of security concerning the protection your self-written agreement offers.
- The court has discretion in deciding whether or not to enforce a prenuptial agreement, and will base its decision on a number of factors not dealt with in package forms.
- Terms of a marital agreement or domestic partnership agreement must be reasonable and reached without duress or fraud. When each signer has his or her own lawyer it is much more likely the court will accept a prenuptial agreement as valid.
A "free" prenup form could cost you far more than you can afford years from now.
