As an attorney drafting a premarital agreement, can you safely advise your client that a waiver or limitation on spousal support will be enforceable many years in the future? Maybe not.
When two people marry, their marital contract includes, among other things, a mutual obligation to support one another. Even after spouses separate with the goal of ending their marriage, the Family Code provides for spousal support orders, both pending trial ("temporary" support) and in the judgment of dissolution ("permanent" support).
