How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Postnuptial Agreement in California (February 2024)

In 2024, a personal client in California sought assistance in drafting a postnuptial agreement to clarify financial rights and obligations in the event of a future divorce. The couple, currently together but planning for potential outcomes, had discussed their desired terms and had already prepared a draft for legal review. With assets primarily in the US and UK and guidance from legal counsel in the Netherlands, they aimed to create a solid foundation for their financial arrangement. As a result, the client received four proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $1,050 to $2,495. All proposals were submitted to meet the client's requested deadline of less than one week.
