Book excerpt: "... describes and analyzes three types of agreements: premarital agreements, postmarital agreements, and domestic partnership agreements. A premarital agreement is a contract between prospective spouses, including same-sex couples, made in contemplation of marriage. A postmarital agreement is a contract executed by parties to an ongoing marriage and not incident to a divorce or marital separation. A domestic partnership agreement, sometimes known as a cohabitation agreement, is a contract executed by a couple whose domestic arrangements may not be state-sanctioned. However, the term also includes such an agreement executed incident to a civil union or registered domestic partnership. Generally, all of these agreements are used to define the property and support rights of the parties upon termination of the marriage or other relationship by death or dissolution. Some parties also opt to include financial obligations during the marriage or other relationship. This Portfolio does not cover separation agreements that settle property rights, spousal and child support obligations, and child custody matters incident to a separation or divorce"--Portfolio description.

Download or read book Matrimonial Property Needs and Agreements written by Great Britain: Law Commission and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2012-09-11 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following its 2011 consultation on marital property agreements, the Law Commission has opened a supplementary consultation on needs and non-matrimonial property, Matrimonial Property, Needs and Agreements - A Supplementary Consulatation Paper (Consultation Paper No 208). The earlier paper examined the legal status of financial agreements made by husbands, wives and civil partners, often known as 'pre-nups' and 'post-nups'. The most important question addressed in that consultation was the enforceability of such agreements. This extension to the project followed the recommendation from Sir David Norgrove's Family Justice Review Panel for a review of the law relating to financial orders. The review is looking at two specific aspects of the law relating to financial provision on divorce: (i) to what extent one spouse should be required to meet the other's financial needs, and what exactly is meant by needs; and (
Download or read book Community Property in California written by Grace Ganz Blumberg and published by Aspen Publishing. This book was released on 2021-08-10 with total page 935 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a recognized expert on community property and family law issues in California, Grace Ganz Blumberg’s comprehensive casebook prepares students for the California bar examination and equips them for California practice in the areas of divorce, decedents’ estates, and debtor-creditor law. Community Property in California carefully balances cases, notes, questions, and problems for student comprehension. Because community property is a relatively narrow subject involving the interplay of state legislation and case law, the casebook is structured to encourage students to develop and refine their analytic skills and to enable professors to guide their students in doing so. Comparative text puts California law into context by including references to sister-state law, the Uniform Marital Property Act and the marital property chapter of the American Law Institute’s Principles of the Law of Family Dissolution. New to the 8th Edition: The California Supreme Court’s 2020 decision, In re Brace, which upended almost a century of community property law, leaving many unresolved questions in its wake. Critical notes on the origins and subsequent development of the Pereira/Van Camp business apportionment doctrine. Further treatment of the Family Code section 4 rule requiring that current family law be applied to events occurring before its effective date, with particular attention to the enforceability of premarital agreements entered under prior law. Professors and students will benefit from: Problems and questions for stimulating class discussion Thorough preparation for the community property essay question on the California bar examination A casebook that students enjoy reading A focus on enhanced lawyering skills, with emphasis on problem solving

Download or read book Matrimonial property needs and agreements written by Great Britain: Law Commission and published by Stationery Office. This book was released on 2014-03-04 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The law gives the courts a wide discretion to make appropriate financial orders when marriages and civil partnerships are dissolved. An important element of those awards is meeting both parties' 'financial needs'. There is evidence of regional inconsistencies in how the courts approach awards for needs which creates unpredictability. And while the law is largely well-understood by family lawyers, it is not clear to the general public. This report recommends that the Family Justice Council produce authoritative guidance on financial needs which would also help to reinforce consistency to how the law is applied in the courts. Some jurisdictions have gone beyond explanation and verbal clarification, producing formulae that generate guideline amounts for payment from one former spouse to another. This report recommends that work be done with a view to assessing whether such an aid to reaching financial settlements could be devised. Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements (referred to together here as 'marital property agreements') cannot be enforced as contracts and they cannot take away the courts' powers to make orders. This report recommends that legislation be enacted to introduce 'qualifying nuptial agreements'. These would be enforceable contracts, not subject to the scrutiny of the courts, which would enable couples to make binding arrangements about the financial consequences of divorce or dissolution. In order for an agreement to be a 'qualifying' nuptial agreement, certain procedural safeguards would have to be met. This report includes a draft Bill, the Nuptial Agreements Bill, which would introduce qualifying nuptial agreements
