H and W got engaged in January 2018. Before marriage, H owned a successful software company worth approximately $4 million, several rental properties, and substantial investment accounts. W worked as preschool teacher, and had a savings account of less than $1,000. 3 days before the wedding, H presented W with a premarital agreement drafted by H’s attorney. H told W, “Everyone in my family signs one. If you don’t sign, there won’t be a wedding.” W was not represented by independent legal counsel, and she also signed a waiver for independent counsel. H told W she did not need an attorney because the agreement was “straightforward.” W signed the agreement the evening before the wedding. The agreement provided that: all earnings acquired during marriage would remain each spouse’s separate property; any appreciation in H’s business would remain H’s separate property; each spouse waived any right to spousal support; and each spouse waived any interest in the other’s retirement accounts. Attached to the agreement was a one-page list of H’s assets. The schedule did not include estimated values or identify H’s income, debts, or liabilities. The parties got married in December 2018. During the marriage, H handled all of the family’s finances. H repeatedly assured W that “everything is in both of our names” and discouraged W from reviewing financial records because “there’s nothing to worry about.” Without informing W, H: sold one of the rental properties and deposited the proceeds into an account titled solely in H’s name; transferred $600,000 from an investment account acquired during marriage into a newly formed LLC owned solely by H; borrowed against securities acquired during marriage to finance improvements to H’s software company; and routinely deleted financial records after preparing the parties’ tax returns.
