What Is a Prenuptial Agreement?

A Prenuptial Agreement, in all its connotations, is a contract legally executed before marriage that establishes which of the parties’ assets, debts, income, and property are to be dealt with during the marriage and in the event of divorce or death. Prenups are particularly suitable for:

• Preserving the financial interests of children in the case of pre-existing assets or family legacies
• Defining the ownership of the enterprise or other properties
• Stipulating the alimony payments
• Minimizing the chances of possible future conflicts and litigations
• Protecting the pecuniary rights of the children from previous relationships.

What Is a Postnuptial Agreement?

A Postnuptial Agreement, or “postnup,” is similar in purpose but is entered into after the marriage has taken place. These agreements can be useful when:

• Financial circumstances change significantly during the marriage
• One or both spouses start or acquire a business
• There is a desire to clarify financial responsibilities or estate planning
• Couples wish to protect themselves in case of a future separation.

Why You Need a Family Law Attorney for Your Prenup or Postnup?

Florida law requires that prenuptial and postnuptial agreements meet certain legal standards to be enforceable. Without proper legal guidance, your agreement could later be challenged in court. At Law Office of David Scott, P.A., we ensure your agreement is clear, fair, and legally sound, with full financial disclosures and tailored protections for your unique situation.
