This answer is for SPOUSAL support and not CHILD support. It lasts for as long as the divorce decree states. It usually ends upon the re-marriage of the spouse who is receiving the support, or upon that person's death.

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 one is married for 10 years can the woman claim Spousal support if she is going to School full time Husband does not give child support either?

The laws vary from state to state. Speaking in very general terms (without knowing the state), 10 years is considered a long term marriage, and spousal support can be awarded. If a wife is enrolled in school the court may order that support continue until her education is complete (in a reasonable period of time) and for a short term after that until she can become gainfully employed. There are numerous settlement options though, spousal support is awarded in some cases until remarriage, and in some cases not at all. Spousal support is generally determined by the assets of the marriage, standard of living in the marriage, income of both spouses, and the length of time of the marriage. There are instances where a wife is the earner, and she is ordered to pay support. Child support is for the child, and is determined by the courts in the interest of the child and the laws vary from state to state. Generally speaking support payments are often ordered to the parent who has primary custody. Today it's not uncommon when both parents are earners of relatively equal levels who share 50/50 custody to have no support order (but to have ordered expenses: IE one parent pays insurance, another parent picks up dental, one parent picks up sports costs, etc.)
