Prenuptial Agreement Filing Process
Summary
In California, there is no requirement to notify the other partys attorney before filing a prenuptial agreement. However, for ex parte applications, you must notify the opposing partys attorney by 10 AM the day before filing. After filing, the judge reviews the application, and a hearing may be held. Further actions or hearings may be needed if more information is required, the application is contested, or temporary decisions are made. Common objections include insufficient notice, lack of urgency, and procedural errors. To counter these, provide evidence of timely notification, emphasize urgency, and ensure accurate filings. Conflicts over prenuptial agreements can involve claims of duress, non-disclosure, or unconscionability. Counter these by presenting evidence of voluntary signing, full disclosure, and the agreements fairness.Full Conversation

She has already stated that she did not know what she was signing or that she was not in a complete good state of mind and also that I forced her to sign it even though those are all untrue and false and she’s the one that asked for the prenuptial agreement and we signed it at the wedding ceremony in front of over * guests and it was red out loud and signed by Two witnesses one being my wife’s adult daughter not to mention the fact again that she’s the one that asked for the prenuptial agreement to be signed and it’s been eight years since this happened that we got married and signed that so she had plenty of time to fight or argue that I forced her to sign it if that was even true, which is not, but if she claims all this in court, how can I reboot this or how can I fight these claims?
To counter your wife's claims, you can:
- Provide evidence showing she requested the prenuptial agreement (e.g., emails, texts).
- Present witnesses who can testify about the signing process, especially her adult daughter.
- Highlight the eight-year gap as evidence she had ample time to contest.
- Show the agreement was read aloud and signed voluntarily in front of witnesses.

Her daughter is on her side and is also spreading false rumors and false allegations against me just like her mother my wife, so there is no way I can get her to testify on anything
In this situation, you can strengthen your case by:
- Gathering evidence (emails, texts) that show she requested the prenup.
- Presenting other witnesses from the wedding who can testify about the signing process.
- Emphasizing the eight-year delay in contesting the agreement as evidence against duress.
- Highlighting the public and voluntary nature of the signing.
