In California, prenuptial agreements (prenups) and postnuptial agreements (postnups) are legal contracts designed to protect the financial interests of spouses in the event of divorce or separation. While both serve similar purposes, they differ in their timing and certain legal requirements. Whether you are considering a prenup before marriage or a postnup after tying the knot, it is essential to understand how these agreements work under California family law.
