Pre-nuptial agreements are a good way for “opting out” of the whole community property system. People can opt out of spousal support, as well.
Once upon a time, pre-nups were disfavored by the law. In fact, in the early 1980’s, I bragged that I could bust any pre-nup. Today, however, after the Supreme Court decisions of Barry Bonds and Pendleton and Fireman, pre-nuptial agreements are actually favored by the law.
