Prenuptial agreements are not just for the wealthy. At the West Palm Beach Law Offices of Robin Roshkind, P.A., our Florida Prenuptial Agreement Attorneys strongly recommend that all of our family law clients who are contemplating marriage or remarriage, consider a prenuptial agreement.
Because Florida is a no fault divorce state, it is difficult to predict how marital assets and debts will be divided, as the standard is equitable distribution, not a 50/50 community property division. A prenuptial agreement is a contract that allows a couple to predict and determine the division of marital assets and debts as well as protect children from a previous marriage.
A prenuptial agreement can also be established for a finite time to ensure the couple that the marriage is going to work. If you married without a prenuptial agreement, you have the option of utilizing a postnuptial agreement to establish the property and support obligations.
What is a prenuptial agreement?
A prenuptial agreement (sometimes referred to as a premarital agreement) is a contract entered into and signed at least thirty days before the wedding. Usually, these agreements have provisions for death and divorce and predetermine how marital assets and debts will be distributed, and what alimony or support will be paid if either of these events occurs. These agreements also protect a person's assets and can preserve them for the person's heirs.
For same sex couples or domestic couples (living together but not married), a cohabitation or domestic partnership agreement can accomplish the same task.
What is a postnuptial agreement?
A postnuptial agreement accomplishes the same goals as a prenuptial agreement, except that it is executed after you are married rather than prior to marriage.
What is a post-nuptial agreement and why do you need one?
What are the advantages of a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement?
Prenuptial agreements provide many advantages for our clients:
- Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are used as premarital asset preservation tools to protect accumulated personal and family assets for your children and beneficiaries
- Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements add certainty in the event of a divorce
- Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements avoid expensive litigation
- Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can be written with the addition of a will or trust document
Can a prenuptial agreement be overthrown in court?
Yes, a prenuptial agreement (and postnuptial agreement) can be overturned IF one can prove fraud or nondisclosure of finances by either party, or if the agreement is overreaching or unconscionable, or made under duress or misrepresentation.
