Legal Question in Family Law in California
Prenuptual Agreement; lack of
My father recently re-wed last weekend over Vegas. He established no prenuptial agreement with his new bride. Previously he has only known her for 6 months prior to marriage. I was wondering, if they divorced within the span of 1 year; with no prenuptial agreemet, what would the spouse be entitled to?
Another question I have is that is there any way for him to safeguard his assets, now that he is married and w/o a prenuptial agreement?

Re: Prenuptual Agreement; lack of
She would be entitled to one half of the community property. That is wages that he earns during that time and possibley other property. However, if he gives her any property that could be her separate property. He should consider establishing a bank account in which he deposits his income and other community property money received during the marriage. However, there is little that you can do to reduce the damages.
