Abstract

Management of post-divorce spousal support—alimony—furnishes an important reason why prospective and current spouses enter into formal agreements with each other. In this essay I report on how California appellate courts have dealt with the enforceability of premarital, postnuptial, and marital-settlement agreements containing alimony provisions.
