Important Change to our 30-day Money Back Guarantee ************************************** Due to the increasing allegations of fraudulent purchase transactions involving documents specifically designated for the purposes of litigation in eviction and/or unlawful detainer proceedings, we have been forced into choosing whether to continue offering such documents at all to ANYONE, or to declare that they are NON-REFUNDABLE, and are no longer covered by the 30-day money-back guarantee. ************************************** Consequently we have decided that as of March 16, 2024 at 1:00 am, PDT any single document specifically listed in the Eviction Defense Collection is hereby NON-REFUNDABLE. To determine if one or more of your proposed documents are NON-REFUNDABLE you will need to review the list of single documents found within the description for the Eviction Defense Collection. ************************************** In the meantime, we will be updating the individual file listings for all such affected documents. ************************************** HOWEVER, YOU HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED!

California postnuptial agreement

by Stan Burman

A California postnuptial agreement is the topic of this blog post.

A California postnuptial agreement is also referred to as an antenuptial agreement or marital agreement. A California postnuptial agreement is a written contract that is signed after a couple has gotten married or has entered into a civil union. The purpose of a California postnuptial agreement is to finalize the settlement of the couple’s affairs in the event that they separate or get divorced.

They are similar to prenuptial agreements in that they commonly include provisions for the division of property and debts as well as spousal support if the couple gets divorced or separates from each other. Postnuptial agreements are also becoming more widely used the same as prenuptial agreements.

The law in California recognizes the validity of a postnuptial agreement pursuant to the provisions of California Family Code § 1500, which states that, "The property rights of husband and wife prescribed by statute may be altered by a premarital agreement or other marital property agreement."

California Family Code § 1502 states in part that such agreements are to be "executed and acknowledged or proved in the manner that a grant of real property is required to be executed and acknowledged" if they are to be recorded in the office of the recorder.
