California is a community property state — one of only nine in the country. Under California Family Code §760, all property acquired during marriage is presumed to belong equally to both spouses. Without a prenup, your income, real estate purchases, retirement contributions, and even business growth during the marriage are subject to a 50/50 split. California's premarital agreement law (Family Code §1610–1617) gives couples the power to change these rules.
California has additional requirements that go beyond the standard UPAA. Under Family Code §1615, a prenup isn't enforceable unless the party against whom enforcement is sought had access to independent legal counsel or expressly waived it in a separate writing. The agreement must also be signed at least seven days after it's first presented to the other party. These rules make California one of the most protective states for the less-wealthy spouse.
Whether you're in Silicon Valley protecting equity compensation, a Los Angeles entertainment professional with royalty income, or a San Diego couple with real estate investments, SignAI generates your California prenup with full compliance — including the seven-day waiting period notice, independent counsel provisions, and community property classification terms.

FAQ
Yes, but California has stricter requirements than most states. Under Family Code §1615, the agreement must be in writing, signed voluntarily, and each party must have had access to independent legal counsel (or signed a written waiver). The agreement must also be presented at least seven days before signing. Unconscionable terms can be struck down.
California is a community property state (Family Code §760). All income earned and property acquired during marriage is presumed to belong equally to both spouses — a strict 50/50 split. A prenup is the only way to override this default and keep certain assets classified as separate property.
Yes, but with extra protections. Under Family Code §1612(c), a spousal support waiver is only enforceable if the party waiving support had independent legal counsel at the time of signing. Courts can also override a waiver if enforcement would be unconscionable at the time of divorce.
Family Code §1615(c)(2) requires that the party against whom enforcement is sought was given at least seven calendar days between receiving the final agreement and signing it. This prevents last-minute pressure. Agreements signed without this waiting period may be unenforceable.
California strongly encourages independent counsel for both parties. Under Family Code §1615(c)(1), if a party doesn't have an attorney, they must sign a separate written waiver of counsel. For spousal support waivers specifically, independent counsel is required under §1612(c). SignAI includes the necessary waiver provisions.
