California is a community property state, meaning all income earned and assets acquired during marriage are owned equally by both spouses. Under the California Uniform Premarital Agreement Act (Family Code §1610-1617), a prenuptial agreement lets you override this 50/50 default and define your own terms.
San Jose sits at the heart of Silicon Valley, where tech equity often represents the majority of a person's wealth. Stock options, RSUs, pre-IPO shares, and startup founder equity are standard compensation. Without a prenup, stock that vests during marriage — even if the grant was made before the wedding — may be classified as community property and split equally. Santa Clara County Superior Court Family Division processes many high-asset divorces involving tech wealth.
SignAI generates your San Jose prenuptial agreement with the right legal language automatically — including compliance with California Family Code, proper financial disclosure requirements, the seven-day review period, and specific provisions for tech equity classification.

What's included
Every Prenup generated by SignAI for California includes these essential provisions — automatically.
Full legal names, addresses, and financial disclosure summaries for both parties — required for enforceability under California law.
Clear identification of each partner's pre-marital assets, including tech equity, pre-IPO shares, cryptocurrency holdings, real estate, and retirement accounts.
Specific terms for how income, stock vesting, and investments made during the marriage will be classified — opting out of California's default 50/50 split where desired.
Agreed-upon terms for spousal support, including amount, duration, and conditions. Independent counsel is required for both parties when waiving support.
Protection from each other's pre-existing debts, including student loans, credit obligations, and startup-related liabilities.
Governing law clause specifying California jurisdiction, venue selection for Santa Clara County courts, and compliance with California Family Code §1610-1617.
Use cases
People in California use SignAI to create Prenups for a wide range of situations. Here are the most popular:
In Silicon Valley, stock options and RSUs can be worth millions. A prenup defines how pre-marital grants, vesting schedules, and post-IPO appreciation are classified — keeping pre-marital tech equity as separate property.
Try it: “I'm a software engineer in San Jose and need a prenup to protect my stock options before getting married”
If you founded a company before marriage, a prenup ensures your equity stake stays separate property. It prevents a court from assigning a marital share of your company to your spouse during divorce proceedings.
Try it: “I'm a startup founder in Silicon Valley and need a prenup to protect my company equity”
When both partners work in tech and earn significant equity compensation, a prenup establishes clear rules about how each person's stock grants, RSU vesting, and bonus income are treated during the marriage.
Try it: “My fiancé and I both work in tech in San Jose and want a fair prenup”
Pre-IPO shares in a San Jose startup can increase dramatically in value. A prenup can classify these shares as separate property and define how any appreciation during marriage is handled.
Try it: “I hold pre-IPO shares in a startup and need a prenup before getting married in San Jose”
FAQ
Yes. Prenuptial agreements are enforceable under the California Uniform Premarital Agreement Act (Family Code §1610-1617). Both parties must sign voluntarily, provide full financial disclosure, and have at least seven calendar days to review the agreement. SignAI's e-signatures are legally valid under UETA and the federal ESIGN Act.
Yes. A prenup can classify pre-marital stock option grants as separate property and define rules for options that vest during marriage. Without a prenup, California courts may apply a time-based formula to allocate a community property share of stock that was granted before but vested during the marriage.
California Family Code §1615 requires that the party who did not primarily draft the prenup have at least seven calendar days between first receiving the final agreement and signing it. This cooling-off period is mandatory — signing early can make the entire agreement unenforceable.
Without a prenup, RSUs that vest during marriage are community property — even if the grant was made before the wedding. A prenup can specify that all equity compensation tied to pre-marital employment remains separate property, or establish a formula for allocating the community property portion.
Independent counsel is required for both parties if the prenup includes a waiver of spousal support. For other provisions, separate lawyers are strongly recommended but not mandated. If one party does not have a lawyer, they must sign a written waiver of representation.
