LEGAL EXPERTISE YOU CAN RELY ON
A prenuptial agreement, often referred to as a “prenup,” is a legally binding contract entered into by two individuals before they marry. It outlines how assets, liabilities, and financial responsibilities will be handled in the event of a divorce. This agreement can protect individuals with significant assets, inheritance, or business interests. Prenups can also set provisions for spousal support and debt division, allowing couples to plan for potential financial disputes and protect their interests.
Whether you are the party that is requesting that your partner enter into prenuptial agreement, or you are on the other side of it and your partner is requesting that you sign a prenuptial agreement, Ostrovsky Law can help guide you in the emotional process.
Many couples in Fort Lauderdale choose prenuptial agreements to ensure financial security and peace of mind. Prenups are especially useful when one or both partners have significant assets, children from previous relationships, or ownership in a business. While discussing a prenup can be emotional, it is an essential tool for protecting both parties’ financial interests and avoiding disputes later.
To be valid in Florida, a prenuptial agreement must meet certain requirements, including:
A prenup cannot determine matters like child custody or child support, as these will be determined based on the best interests of the child at the time of divorce.
Prenuptial agreements offer peace of mind by clarifying financial expectations and preventing lengthy legal battles during a divorce. They can protect premarital assets, secure inheritances, and ensure business interests remain intact.
Danielle Ostrovsky can help you navigate the complexities of prenuptial agreements in Fort Lauderdale, ensuring that your interests are fully protected.
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can cover various aspects, such as:
No, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can be beneficial for couples of varying financial situations. They allow couples to clarify financial expectations, protect assets, and provide peace of mind, regardless of the level of wealth.
There is no set timeframe of when a prenuptial agreement should be signed prior to the wedding. However, it is beneficial to begin the process well in advance of a wedding date for various reasons. One of the reasons is that the process of signing a prenuptial agreement often comes with many emotions for one or both parties, and it is important to handle those emotions and the process not too close to the wedding date, that way you can focus on the excitement of the wedding and not worry about the prenuptial agreement. Also, the closer that the prenuptial agreement is signed to the wedding date, the easier it is for one of the spouses to make the argument that they signed it under duress if one of the spouses tries to set aside the Prenuptial Agreement one day in the event of a divorce. However, this is by no means the deciding factor in one of the spouses having the ability to set aside the Prenuptial Agreement.
