What Are the Requirements for a Prenuptial Agreement in Florida?
If you’re considering entering a prenuptial agreement, you should hire an experienced family attorney to draft, review, and execute the agreement. Florida law establishes various requirements that must be met in order for any prenuptial agreement to be valid, and hiring a legal team to handle your case is key to a smooth process. Florida has adopted the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act which sets forth the requirements of a valid prenuptial agreement in Florida.
Below are some of the major requirements that are usually required to be met for a valid prenuptial agreement:
- Both parties provide full financial disclosure
- The agreement must be executed voluntarily by both parties
- The agreement must not be unconscionable at the time of the execution
- The agreement must be in writing, signed by the parties
It is important to keep in mind that prenuptial agreements cannot include binding provisions regarding children’s issues such as child support, time-sharing arrangements, or any other child custody issues.
When Is a Prenup Necessary?
A prenuptial agreement is beneficial for many couples including, those who have pre-marital assets they wish to protect, those expecting to acquire significant inheritance or gifts from third parties during the marriage, those who have children from a prior marriage and those who are marrying for the second or more times.
Below are five situations where a prenuptial agreement is advisable:
- One or both parties have significant assets: A prenuptial agreement can help protect any assets or inherited wealth in the event of a divorce.
- One or both parties have debt: A prenuptial agreement can establish how any debts will be handled in case of divorce.
- One or both parties own a business: A prenuptial agreement can protect any businesses or practices from being split up or sold in the event of a divorce.
- One or both parties have been married before: A prenuptial agreement can help to protect the financial interests of any children from prior relationships.
- One or both parties are expecting an inheritance: A prenuptial agreement can establish how future assets will be managed in the event of a divorce.
Overall, a prenuptial agreement can provide peace of mind and a sense of security for both parties in the marriage. It is important to consult with a family law attorney from Leinoff & Lemos to determine if a prenuptial agreement is necessary or appropriate in your situation.
Are Postnuptial Agreements Valid in Florida?
Yes! Postnuptial agreements are valid and legally binding, provided all Florida law requirements are followed very carefully. These agreements are governed by Florida case law. Postnuptial agreements are considered valid if both spouses enter the agreement willingly, voluntarily and freely; there is full and complete financial disclosure; and the agreement is made in good faith, without trickery, deceit, fraud, or coercion.
If you and your partner want to establish how to allocate your joint or separate assets during the marriage or in the event of a divorce or death, a postnuptial agreement is worth considering. Seek legal advice from Leinoff & Lemos before signing any contract to ensure your best interests are protected.
