HOW MUCH WILL A PRENUP COST?

I frequently receive questions from people regarding their family law issues. The following is a question which the inquirer agreed may be publicly revealed, and my answer to the question:

QUESTION: How much does it cost to get a prenup? I went through a horrible divorce a few years ago in the state of California. I want to get married to my boyfriend, but I want to get a prenup in case we do not make it. How much will this cost?

ANSWER: Each Family Law Attorney has his or her own pricing structure for Prenups.

There isn't such a thing as a "standard" Prenuptial Agreement. Your Premarital Agreement should be tailored to the terms that you want, it needs attached disclosures of your and your fiance's assets and obligations and their values and amounts, and the attorney may recommend other terms that you hadn't thought about.

If you want a Prenup, get a good one, not a cheap one. It should be drafted by an experienced Family Law Attorney who knows the laws and cases relevant to Prenuptial Agreements. Poorly drafted Prenups get set aside by the Court in Divorce cases.

You should interview experienced Family Law Attorneys before choosing one to prepare your Prenup.
