How it works

Six steps from "we should probably get a prenup" to an execution-ready package on your counsel's desk.

📖

Learn the baseline

See exactly what California law gives each of you by default — community property, equal division, spousal support, Moore/Marsden — so every choice you make is informed.

✍️

Make the 10 elections

Every decision point in the agreement, explained in plain English with the enforceability trade-offs. "Undecided" is allowed — it tells your attorney where the real negotiation is.

🔐

Disclose — both of you

Structured Schedules A–H for each party: assets, liabilities, income, trusts, expectancies. Full disclosure is the single cheapest protection an agreement can have.

📄

Generate the package

A clean, court-ready draft: brackets filled, unselected options removed, election summary completed — plus the separately-signed §1615(c) instruments most templates don't even include.

⏱️

Run the clocks

California requires two separate seven-day waiting periods. Our timeline engine works backward from your wedding date, tracks every statutory interval, and builds your Execution Record.

💍

Finish after the wedding

The steps everyone forgets — ERISA waivers, beneficiary updates, estate document review — calendared with deadlines. Export straight to your calendar.

Why most DIY prenups fail — and this one is different

California deems a premarital agreement involuntary unless a court finds five statutory elements. The burden runs against enforceability. A fill-in-the-blank PDF can't manage that. A process can.

Signed too close to the wedding

Proximity to the ceremony is the most-cited fact in successful challenges. Two separate 7-day statutory clocks must fully run — and a substantive edit restarts them. We track both, automatically.

The "separate writings" never got signed

§1615(c) requires the counsel waiver, the Rights & Effect Statement, and the Declaration of Receipt to exist as standalone signed instruments. A recital inside the agreement does not count. We generate all of them.

Support waiver without independent counsel

Under §1612(c) a spousal support provision is categorically unenforceable against an unrepresented party. The portal detects this and steers the election accordingly.

Thin financial disclosure

Full, documented disclosure defeats the entire unconscionability prong by itself. Our Schedules A–H over-disclose by design, with an exchange log that becomes evidence.

The ERISA trap

A retirement waiver signed before the wedding is void under federal law — it must be re-signed after marriage on the plan's own form. It's the most expensive oversight in California practice. We calendar it.

The result

An agreement with a complete evidentiary record: election summary, execution record, disclosure log, statutory instruments, and a post-marriage compliance file. In a challenge fifteen years from now, that file matters more than the drafting.

Pricing

A California attorney-drafted prenup typically runs $2,500–$8,500 per party. Choose how much help you want.

Questions couples actually ask

Is a prenup filed with a court?

No. A premarital agreement is a private contract — nothing is filed anywhere. It matters years later, if the marriage ends or one spouse dies, when a court is asked to enforce it. That's why the process and the paper trail matter as much as the words: the agreement is only as good as its evidentiary record.

Is this legal advice? Do we still need lawyers?

No — this is a self-help document preparation tool, not a law firm, and no attorney-client relationship is created. You make every decision yourselves. California law also makes independent counsel mandatory for certain provisions: a spousal support waiver is unenforceable against an unrepresented party, and estate-rights waivers have their own counsel requirement. The portal is built to get each of you to your own attorney prepared — which typically cuts the engagement cost dramatically.

Can we do the whole thing online, e-sign and done?

No — and be suspicious of any product that says yes. Execution should be in ink before a notary, two seven-day statutory waiting periods must run, and certain instruments must be signed separately. The portal manages that timeline for you; the signing itself happens in the real world, the way a court expects to see it.

What happens to our financial information?

In the current version, everything you enter stays in your own browser on your own device — nothing is uploaded to any server. You can export your data as a file to share with your fiancé(e) or attorney, and delete it any time.

We're not in California. Can we use this?

Not yet. This agreement is built specifically on the California Premarital Agreement Act and California community property doctrine — used unmodified in another state it would cite statutes that don't apply. Additional states are on the roadmap. Join the waitlist and tell us your state.

What if we can't finish before the wedding?

Don't rush it — an agreement signed under time pressure invites a duress finding, and compressed timelines can fail the mechanical seven-day tests outright. The correct move is usually to marry as planned and do a postnuptial agreement afterward with counsel. The portal will flag this automatically if your dates get tight.
