California couples may find it difficult to plan for the possibility of divorce. However, for those interested in protecting personal finances, it is important to accept the possibility and plan accordingly. In many cases, couples choose to create a prenuptial agreement. Prenuptial agreements, while useful in some cases, can be thrown out or overturned by the courts in some situations. For those with significant wealth to protect, the possibility of a prenuptial agreement being overturned can spell financial disaster.
