The primary advantage of a valid California prenup is that it allows the parties to bypass Californias community property system of dividing and distributing community assets during divorce.
Q: How does a prenup work in a community property state? A: A prenup can override the default property division laws of a community property state (i.e., the 50/50 rule). You create a prenup before getting married and then in the event of a divorce, you will abide by the terms of your prenup.
Even if a prenup states that a spouse should or should not inherit assets, it is not certain to override the terms of the will. However, a prenup can override a beneficiary designation in some cases.
Importantly, the death of a spouse does not trigger the prenup and the distribution of assets. Instead, the spouses last will and testament goes into effect and any contractual rights to property contained in the prenuptial agreement become, at best, a potential claim against the estate of the deceased.
Child Custody and Support A prenuptial agreement cannot include provisions regarding child custody or child support. California courts always prioritize the best interests of the child, and any attempt to predetermine these issues in a prenup will be invalid.

A prenup wont protect you from assets that were acquired during the marriage. Those are called communal property and subject to be split with your wife in the divorce. A prenup ONLY protects the assets you had before getting married. It doesnt protect your assets after you are married.
