He'll Work With You at Every Step
Ben Rand is a California attorney dedicated to helping individuals navigate family law matters with clarity, efficiency, and respect. He earned his undergraduate degree from University of California, Davis before attending University of San Francisco School of Law, where he graduated magna cum laude and ranked in the top 5% of his class.
Following law school, he focused his practice on family law, gaining experience in the legal and procedural challenges that accompany divorce and marital agreements. Through that work, he recognized that many individuals seeking straightforward, reliable guidance in uncontested matters were underserved by the legal community. He later expanded his work to include premarital agreements.
He founded Simplified Separation to address this gap. His practice is centered on uncontested divorces and prenuptial agreements, offering a streamlined approach that prioritizes efficiency, transparency, and practical solutions. By focusing exclusively on amicable matters, he provides responsive, detail-oriented service without the delays and complications often associated with traditional litigation.
Choose the right service
The key question is whether an agreement already exists and whether the marriage has occurred. That determines the appropriate starting point.
For a couple preparing an agreement before marriage when a new document needs to be drafted from the beginning.
For a person who already has a draft and needs independent review rather than creation of a new agreement.
Learn about prenup reviewFor a married person who has an existing postnuptial agreement draft and wants attorney review.
Learn about postnup reviewDrafting is also available for spouses who are already married. Because the three flat-fee tiers above are listed for prenups, postnup scope and pricing are confirmed during consultation.
What the drafting service includes
The work is organized around accurate financial information, clear instructions, careful drafting, and enough time for each party to obtain advice and consider the agreement.
Discuss the wedding date, goals, financial picture, intended terms, and whether the other party has separate counsel.
Organize the relevant asset, debt, income, business, real-estate, retirement, and investment information, with supporting records as applicable.
Translate the client's instructions and disclosed financial picture into an organized agreement for review.
Walk through the draft, answer questions, and revise the language within the scope stated in the engagement agreement.
When the other party retains an attorney, coordinate the exchange of drafts and negotiate proposed language as provided by the drafting tier and engagement scope.
Plan for final review and signing after the drafting and attorney-coordination work is complete. The precise steps depend on the agreement and circumstances.
The schedule depends on how promptly financial information is assembled, the complexity of the proposed terms, the number of revisions, and whether separate counsel is involved.
A wedding date is relevant, but it is not a promised completion date. Starting early allows time for disclosure, independent review, negotiation, and deliberate signing instead of a rushed process.
Careful drafting and execution planning can address foreseeable issues, but no attorney can promise that every provision will be enforced later.
Enforceability can depend on the law and facts at the time of a challenge, including disclosure, voluntariness, access to independent counsel, timing, the agreement's terms, and how it was signed. A court ultimately decides a disputed issue.
The appropriate provisions depend on the couple's goals, finances, and California law. Common subjects include:
Characterization, ownership, management, appreciation, earnings, and reimbursement questions.
Business interests, professional practices, real estate, brokerage accounts, and family wealth.
Responsibility for existing and future liabilities and other agreed financial obligations.
Financial rights if the marriage ends and coordination with appropriate estate-planning arrangements.
A prenup cannot override every rule or determine every future issue. Child-support rights cannot be adversely affected, and spousal-support provisions receive special scrutiny. The drafting consultation identifies which requested terms can appropriately be addressed.
The practice is designed for deliberate agreement planning and drafting, not family-law litigation or pressure-driven last-minute signing.
The separate review service is designed for clients who need analysis and revision guidance, not a new agreement drafted from the beginning.
