Marital Agreements in Florida
Florida allows for prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. These are very useful tools for couples who want to plan in advance how things will be handled between them after marriage and in the event of dissolution. Marital agreements are especially useful in the case of second or subsequent weddings and when there are children of previous marriages.
I am a seasoned divorce lawyer who understands the legal aspects of the divorce. I have been an attorney since 1983 and possess the knowledge and experience necessary to draft thorough and precise marital agreements that will protect your assets and your family.
Weston Prenuptial Agreement Attorney
A prenuptial agreement is a marriage contract entered into before marriage. To be valid, the contract has to comply with Florida's law so that it is not later overturned. Some of those requirements include:
- Reasonable time between the signing of the agreement and the wedding
- No coercion or duress
- Both spouses need to be represented by independent legal counsel
- Full disclosure of all assets
Broward County Postnuptial Agreement Attorney
A postnuptial agreement is a marriage contract entered into after the marriage. Like a prenuptial agreement, it must also comply with Florida's statutory requirements. The requirements for a postnuptial agreement are the same, except that it does not have to be signed before the wedding.
In the event of a divorce, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can be submitted to the court as a settlement agreement, making divorce easier and less expensive.
