💍 Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements in Florida
Protect Your Assets. Clarify Expectations. Strengthen Your Partnership.
Whether you're preparing for marriage or navigating finances during an existing one, a well-drafted marital agreement can protect your future and reduce conflict. At Family Matters Law Group, P.A., we help couples create clear, enforceable prenuptial and postnuptial agreements that offer both protection and peace of mind.
✍️ What Is a Prenuptial Agreement?
A prenuptial agreement (prenup) is a legally binding contract signed before marriage that outlines how assets, debts, and spousal support will be handled if the marriage ends in divorce or death.
Key Features:
-
Asset Protection: Clearly defines what is marital vs. non-marital property
-
Debt Allocation: Assigns responsibility for existing and future debts
-
Spousal Support Terms: Sets limits or terms for potential alimony
-
Business Protection: Shields businesses from becoming marital assets
-
Estate Planning Coordination: Helps align prenup terms with your long-term estate plan
📝 What Is a Postnuptial Agreement?
A postnuptial agreement (postnup) is similar to a prenup, but it is executed after the couple is already married. It can be used to confirm, clarify, or change financial arrangements during the marriage.
Key Features:
-
Clarifies Financial Rights and Duties during the marriage
-
Modifies or Replaces an Existing Prenup
-
Addresses Changing Financial Circumstances (e.g., business growth, inheritance)
-
Helps Resolve Marital Conflicts related to money
-
Reduces Uncertainty about what happens in the event of divorce or death
📋 Legal Requirements for Enforceability in Florida
Both prenups and postnups must meet specific requirements under Florida law:
✅ Written Agreement (oral agreements are not enforceable)
✅ Voluntary Execution – no coercion, duress, or undue pressure
✅ Full Financial Disclosure – each party must fully disclose assets and debts
✅ Fair & Reasonable Terms at the time of signing (and enforcement)
✅ Independent Legal Counsel Recommended – to ensure both parties understand their rights
🛡️ Why Do You Need One?
A marital agreement isn't about planning for failure — it's about protecting both partners, especially when:
-
You own a business or professional practice
-
There are children from a previous relationship
-
One party has significantly more assets or debt
-
One spouse pauses their career to support the family
-
You want to avoid future disputes and costly litigation
Prenups and postnups can reduce future stress, protect wealth, and ensure fair treatment for both parties.
