Prenuptual preventing Alimony


What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Is there such a document that you can have your new spouse sign in advance of getting married that they will waive their right to alimony should you divorce in the future?

YOu can always attempt a prenup but they can be overturned. There is NOTHING that will GUARANTEE a waiver of alimony unless you just don't get married.

Nothing stated by me should be taken as giving you legal advice or forming an attorney/client relationship. My advice is based on the law and not deemed to necessarily apply to the specifics of your case. The devil is in the details after all.

You need to present it far enough in front of the weding for the other party to review it with an attorney. I believe there needs to be an actual recommendation attached instructing the other party to have it reviewed. Also, as the marriage lengthens, the value of the pre-nup lessens.

However, with everyone involved well represented by council, it would work in the short term.
