Legal Question in Family Law in California
protecting assets from divorce
I am single and contemplating marraige.
Will creating an estate/trust and including all my property in it, protect it in the case of a divorce?
What other way besides a pre-nup could be used to achieve the same result.
If I marry outside US, is the pre-nup signed in the other country valid in the US?
Thx.
