Is a waiver of spousal support enforceable in a Prenuptial Agreement enforceable under California law?
See the FAQ section at www.laprenuplawyer.com. Historically, waivers of spousal support were considered to be unenforceable in California. But in 2000 the California Supreme Court reexamined California's long-standing policy against such waivers of spousal support in In re Marriage of Pendleton & Fireman, 24 Cal.4th 39 (2000) . In that case, the Supreme Court found that when entered into voluntarily by people who are aware of the effect of the prenuptial agreement, a premarital waiver of spousal support does not offend contemporary public policy. In response to the Pendleton decision, the California Legislature promulgated new regulations that limit when modifications or waivers of spousal support in prenuptial agreements may be upheld. Section 1612 (c) of the Family Code now provides that any provision regarding spousal support, including a waiver, will be unenforceable if either party against whom enforcement is sought was: (1) unrepresented by independent counsel at the time the agreement was executed, or (2) if the provision is unconscionable at the time enforcement is sought. It is impossible to predict what circumstances might someday cause a Family Law judge to conclude that enforcing a spousal support waiver would be "unconscionable." While we can surmise with a high degree of certainty that if, after a 10-year marriage, one party is worth one billion dollars and the other party has no assets is unemployed, and is completely disabled, enforcement of a spousal support waiver would likely be deemed to be unconscionable. On the other hand, at the other extreme, we can say with equal confidence that if, after a one-year marriage, both parties have assets of equal value and comparable incomes, enforcement of a spousal support waiver in a prenuptial agreement would not be deemed to be unconscionable. Between these two extremes, we can only speculate where a Family Law judge might draw the line between "conscionability" and "unconscionability." Unfortunately, since Section 1612 of the Family Code was amended by the California legislature in 2002, there has been little case law that addresses under what circumstances a Family Law judge is likely to find a waiver of spousal support to be "unconscionable." Until a more developed body of case law emerges that addresses this important issue, it is impossible to predict under what sort of circumstances a provision in a prenuptial agreement dealing with (or waiving) spousal support is at risk of being struck down on the grounds that it is "unconscionable."

If you are illegal in US and marry a green card holder will you get any papers and be legal?
Marriage to a US citizen does not make the foreigner legal in the US. The marriage itself will be legal, but the status of the illegal person does not change. The couple still has to go through the correct steps and the process to obtain a spousal visa and legalize the status of the spouse. The first step is to file one of the two spousal petition options with USCIS, providing background information on both parties and paying fees. Once the petition is approved and has been sent to the National Visa Center, various other forms and fees need to be filed and paid. The approved petition will eventually be sent to the US Consulate in the illegal person's home country where s/he will have to go for a visa interview. At the interview s/he will be denied the visa based on his/her illegal presence in the US and if he/she is eligible, s/he will be allowed to file a 601 waiver to overcome this visa ineligibility. Along with the waiver, the US Citizen/qualifying relative has to provide a detailed letter with evidence and documentation proving that the USC will suffer "extreme hardship" if the foreign spouse's visa is denied. Waiver approval rates differ from country to country as does waiver adjudication time. The non-USC is required to stay outside of the US during the waiver adjudication time, which could be more than one year, depending on the country. If and when the waiver is approved, the spouse will receive either a green card or a non-immigrant spousal visa (depending on which type of petition they chose to submit). If itis a non-immigrant visa, there is further adjustment of status paperwork /fees/fingerprints/interviews to be done in the US before the spouse can work and until a conditional green card is received. If the couple has been married for less than two years, the card is conditional and those conditions are required to be lifted 90 days before the two year anniversary of receipt of the original card.
Are spouses responsible for employee loans after their death?
In most cases a waiver has to be signed that states the spouse will not be responsible. This is especially true for credit cards. If you have signed a statement in contract that states in case of death... it depends on what it states; responsible or not responsible, again it is all in the fine print. There may be a waiver on a loan if the spouse had no knowledge of said loan if loan was signed into being prior to a wedding date.
