What Can Prenuptial Agreements Cover

Under California law, in a premarital agreement, a future husband and wife may agree on any matter they wish, as long as the topic doesn't violate any law or public policy.

Specifically, prenuptial agreements cover the following issues:

1. the right and obligations in any of the property that they own;

2. the management and control of the property they own;

3. the disposition of their property upon divorce or even death;

4. the making of a will or trust;

5. life insurance proceeds;

6. the state whose laws will govern the agreement; and

7. virtually anything else they want.

Since a parent can't waive their child's support, spouses can never agree, however, on any child support obligation issue.
