Background on Lifestyle Clauses
Lifestyle clauses are a type of clause that you may see in a prenup in some states. A prenup generally outlines what happens to each spouse’s financial matters, such as property and debt, and who will take ownership of such in a divorce. In other words, prenups are usually centered around financial issues, but what about more personal aspects of marriage? Some states allow couples to include non-financial clauses, sometimes called lifestyle clauses, in their prenups. However, some states, like California, do not enforce lifestyle clauses, and CA attorneys will n ..read more

Just like any contract, prenuptial agreements are susceptible to being invalidated for certain reasons. This is true among any contract you can think of: Non-disclosure agreements (NDA), non-competes, service agreements, etc. Under certain contract principles, a contract can be thrown out for a variety of reasons, such as coercion, duress, unlawful contents, mental incapacity, unconscionability, and others. For example, if you hold a gun to someone’s head and force them to sign a non-compete, it won’t be honored in a court of law because of coercion. What we’re trying to say is any contract yo ..read more

Parents, parents, parents. Can’t live with ’em, can’t live without ’em, am I right? Sometimes, we must let our parents have their opinions and try not to take them personally. They changed our dirty diapers for years, after all! Okay, but in all seriousness, backlash from a parent on a prenup is tough. Whether you are getting backlash because they think prenups are stupid or they don’t like specifically what your prenup states, it’s never fun. At the end of the day, it’s your life, and you have to make the best decisions for yourself, but it’s always a good idea to be respectful and consider y ..read more

What is a prenup?

When going through a divorce, it’s easy to get wrapped up in emotional stress and forget the practical details. One of the essential things to consider is what will happen to your pets if you and your spouse split up. Especially if you don’t have a pet prenup in place.
In today’s society, pets are members of the family. In fact, according to a 2006 article, Bones of Contention: Custody of Family Pets, a poll showed that most pet owners would not trade their pets for even $1 million in cash. This reiterates the notion that pets are treated like children and given the same love, care, and ..read more
