Why You Can’t Waive Child Support in a Prenup

January 29, 2025

At The Tabo Law Firm, we know how important it is to protect your interests with a strong, enforceable premarital agreement. But when it comes to child support, there’s one thing you absolutely cannot do: waive it.


California law makes it clear—child support is always modifiable based on change in circumstances. You can’t use a prenup to eliminate or limit this right because child support is designed to protect the best interests of the child, not the parents. Including provisions that violate this law will render your agreement unenforceable.


When drafting premarital agreements, enforceability is our top priority. We ensure that every provision complies with California law, so your agreement stands up in court. Including anything illegal, such as an attempt to waive child support, undermines the entire contract and risks getting it thrown out.


If you're considering a prenup, don’t leave its enforceability to chance. At The Tabo Law Firm, we specialize in crafting agreements that protect your interests while standing firm under California law.
