Waiving Spousal Support in a Prenup? Here’s What You Need to Know

January 22, 2025

At The Tabo Law Firm, we understand that preparing for marriage is exciting, but it also comes with important legal considerations. One question many couples ask is whether they can waive spousal support in a premarital agreement or prenup. The answer is yes – but it’s not as simple as just saying so.


To make the waiver of spousal support enforceable, it needs to meet specific legal requirements. Courts are particularly sensitive when it comes to spousal support provisions, so careful attention must be paid to the language in the prenup. The waiver must be voluntary, and both parties must fully understand the implications of giving up spousal support. This means both parties should be advised by their own counsel about their rights, responsibilities, and what spousal support might look like in the future.


To ensure that the waiver is valid and enforceable, it’s crucial to work with an experienced attorney who can craft the agreement properly. That’s where we come in.


At The Tabo Law Firm, we specialize in creating prenups that protect both parties and provide peace of mind. Don’t risk an invalid waiver or future complications – contact us today to discuss your prenup and ensure everything is done right.
