Under the California UPAA (the California Prenuptial Agreement statute), if you or your future spouse plan to waive your rights to Spousal Support, or agree to terms relating to Spousal Support that differ from California law, it is imperative that the waiving party be represented by an attorney at the time the agreement is signed.

That is, if you waive or modify Spousal Support in your HelloPrenup account, we require an Attorney Signature on your generated prenuptial agreement. (Remember, Attorney Signature = legal representation).

If you do not want to hire an Attorney, you cannot not modify or waive Spousal Support in your CA prenup.
