Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements in Florida
Subject to certain exceptions, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are enforceable under Florida law. These agreements usually address your financial arrangements, division of assets, custody, child support, spousal support, and a number of other issues.
At Richard J. Mockler, P.A., we can help protect your rights by drafting, reviewing, or modifying prenuptial and postnuptial agreements.
A prenuptial agreement can protect your financial interests, reduce the potential for litigation and clearly define your rights and obligations.
Call (813) 443-4634 or (866) 719-7570 to speak with an experienced Tampa attorney or contact us by email.
Prenuptial Agreements
Prenuptials or “prenups” define the terms of separation or divorce so that both parties have a clear understanding of their rights and obligations in the event of a divorce. While the idea of a prenuptial agreement may seem unromantic or may appear to bode poorly for the relationship, it is important to protect your rights and have an open and honest conversation about the financial obligations you will make before marriage.
It is important to consult with an attorney, if:
- You have significant assets and are entering marriage
- You want to protect certain property in the event of a divorce
- You have children from a former marriage and want to protect their financial security in the event of your incapacity or death
- You have been served a prenuptial agreement and want independent counsel to protect your rights
- You are concerned about certain language in a prenuptial agreement and want a clear understanding of your rights and obligations
Postnuptial Agreements
Postnuptials or “postnups” are agreements made during marriage. There is no time limitation for creating a postnuptial agreement. You can even enter into a postnuptial agreement before you inherit money. A postnuptial agreement may define financial support, including spousal support or child support and make determinations for child custody or parenting time arrangements. Whether you have been asked to sign a postnuptial agreement or you want one of our attorneys to review the document to protect your interests, please contact our firm.
