Los Angeles Prenuptial Agreement Attorneys
Prenup Attorneys for Thoughtful, Asset-Focused Planning
You sacrificed weekends, took risks, and made hard choices to build what you have today. Or your family did, passing down wealth you’re now responsible for protecting. Now you’re planning to share your life with someone who also brings their own financial story, dreams, and responsibilities.
Without a prenuptial agreement, California’s community property laws will automatically govern how your assets are treated during marriage and divided if you divorce. That means the medical practice you built, the family property you inherited, or the business you’re launching could become community property, regardless of your intentions.
A prenuptial agreement gives you control over those decisions. It protects what you’ve earned separately while establishing clear expectations for what you’ll build together.
They handled my divorce with the discretion and precision I needed. My assets, my business, and my time with my children were all protected.
Los Angeles Prenuptial Agreement Attorneys
At Provinziano & Associates, our prenuptial agreement attorneys work with couples throughout Los Angeles Area who understand that protecting assets requires a sophisticated legal strategy.
Led by Certified Family Law Specialist and IAFL member Alphonse Provinziano, we’ve guided business owners, heirs, public figures, and professionals across industries in creating and enforcing prenups both locally and internationally, provided there’s a California connection.
If you’re already married and wish you had a prenuptial agreement, it’s not too late. A postnuptial agreement provides the same financial protection as a prenup, but it’s created after marriage.

How Our Los Angeles Prenup Attorneys Can Help You
Our prenup attorneys draft comprehensive agreements, create mirror agreements for international couples, handle enforcement when prenups are challenged, negotiate terms between parties, and modify existing agreements when circumstances change.
We represent clients throughout the entire prenup process—from initial consultation through final execution—ensuring every agreement meets California’s legal requirements while protecting your specific interests.
Drafting Custom Prenuptial Agreements
You bring business ownership, real estate investments, or family trusts into the marriage. Your partner carries student loan debt, professional licenses, or startup equity that requires careful consideration.
We draft agreements that define what stays separate property, how future income gets treated, and what happens to assets acquired during marriage.
For couples with international connections, our prenup lawyers create mirror agreements that comply with foreign jurisdictions while maintaining enforceability in California courts.
Prenup Negotiation and Agreement Review
Prenup negotiations require balancing protection with fairness. One party may want to preserve family wealth, while the other needs assurance they won’t be left financially vulnerable after stepping back from a career for the relationship. Sometimes, one partner also seeks to shield a business they’ve built from becoming community property.
Our Los Angeles prenup lawyers represent your interests during negotiations, whether you’re proposing terms or responding to your partner’s attorney.
We also review existing agreements or those drafted by opposing counsel, identifying potential issues and ensuring the terms align with your goals before you sign.
Defending and Challenging Prenup Agreements
California prenup laws have strict requirements for valid agreements, and failing to meet these standards can invalidate your entire agreement.
Our prenuptial agreement law firm ensures your agreement complies with all California requirements during drafting.
If someone challenges an existing prenup, we defend its validity in court. When a prenup fails to meet legal standards or was signed under duress, we contest its enforceability to protect your rights.
Modifying Existing Prenuptial Agreements
Life changes after marriage. Career transitions, inheritance, business growth, or family expansion can make your original prenup inadequate or unfair.
We handle modifications when circumstances shift significantly.
Whether you need to update asset valuations, adjust spousal support terms, or address new business ventures or debt, our lawyers for prenuptial agreements ensure the modified agreement reflects your current reality while maintaining legal validity.

Frequently Asked Questions
on Prenuptial Agreements in California
What is an Ironclad Prenup?
Do I Need an Attorney for a Prenuptial Agreement?
Can One Attorney Represent Both Parties in a Prenuptial Agreement?
No, one attorney cannot represent both parties in a prenuptial agreement due to conflicts of interest. Each person should have their own independent legal counsel to ensure fairness and proper representation.
How Long Is a Prenup Good For?
A prenup typically lasts for the duration of the marriage unless it includes a specific expiration date or “sunset clause.” Couples can modify or revoke their prenup at any time by mutual agreement, and some state laws may influence its validity over time.
