Irvine & Riverside Prenuptial Agreement Attorneys

If you have personal assets to protect and are considering getting married, it pays to talk to a knowledgeable California family law attorney about the importance of a prenuptial agreement. Prenuptial agreements are binding agreements that stipulate what personal assets will not be considered marital property under California's community property laws, in the event of divorce.

The lawyers at Fernandez & Lauby LLP are ready to help you protect your financial property and assets with a prenup agreement or post-nuptial agreement. With offices conveniently located in Irvine and Riverside, California. If you are thinking about putting together a prenuptial or post-nuptial agreement, contact our attorneys by calling 866.776.3983 or email us online.

What is a Post-Nuptial Agreement

A post-nuptial agreement is much the same as a prenup, except the married spouses agree during the marriage that certain property should remain as personal property, rather than community property in the event of contested divorce.

Prenup Requirements

A valid prenuptial agreement is a contract and must meet the following requirements:

• The agreement must be in writing and executed voluntarily
• There must be a full and fair disclosure of all assets and debts at the time of the agreement
• Both signing parties should have their own legal representation
• In the event alimony limitations are included in the agreement, both parties are required by law to have their own attorney
• The agreement should be drafted several months ahead of the date of marriage
• The agreement cannot be unconscionable, giving one party an inordinate amount of property protections, while offering few legal protections to the other party
• Must be executed legally, in front of a notary public

 A Peer Review of Mr. Edward A. Fernandez's Mediation Services by Filippo Marchino, Esq.:

"What most know is that Mr. Fernandez is a member of the panel for the Redlands Arbitration and Mediation Services, as well as the Inland Valley Justice Center. What most don't know is that Mr. Fernandez spent 5 months resolving a case that nobody (not even the parties) believed could actually be resolved short of a trial on the merits. In a case of complex construction defect, involving complex and detailed matters, Mr. Fernandez skillfully navigated each and every matter, resulting is a win-win situation for both parties, one of which I represented. Can't honestly say how appreciative of his hard work we all are. Hence, it is with no hesitation that I fully endorse Mr. Fernandez!"

A recent client review for Mr. Edward A. Fernandez:

As a principle of ClaimQuest, Inc., a Third Party Administration company, it is my duty to obtain the best legal counsel possible for me clients. It is important to note that my decision on counsel directly reflects on me and my company. My clients and I do not want excuses, we seek cost effective results. Mr Fernandez, his law firm, and associates have a long and proven track record for achieving positive cost effective results many of his peers only talk about.

Mr. Fernandez demonstrates excellent legal skills which are a great asset but it is not the only talent you should seek from your legal council. In addition, he also has a reputation of being a hard, yet fair negotiator which has earned him the respect of his peers and the courts. This blend of rare talents has given Mr. Fernandez the opportunity to obtain the most favorable results while significantly reducing needless time consuming litigation costs in many cases.

In my 30 years of being in this business I have never given my endorsement to any attorneys' before Mr. Fernandez, I can say with confidence that Mr. Fernandez has set the standard for our office and many other associates I do business with.
