A pre-nuptial agreement or prenup is a legal document in which spouses agree on the terms and conditions of specific aspects of their marriage. Prenups generally focus on financial and legal terms though a number of other things may be included.

Overall, folks use prenups to protect assets acquired before a marriage. Prenups can also manage assets acquired during the marriage, specifically determining what can happen to these assets in case of death or divorce.

Please note that a marital agreement is not  only  intended for wealthy individuals. Any person, regardless of their net worth, can use a marital agreement to protect their assets and income and avoid taking on their spouse’s liabilities.

Here is a look at what a pre-nuptial agreement covers in Florida:

Please note that some items  cannot  be included in a prenup.

On the whole, please remember that prenups are meant to protect assets in case of separation or divorce. Therefore, it is important to ensure these aspects are reflected throughout the document.

In short, anyone who wishes to protect their assets should get a prenup. While some people may feel that a prenup is not romantic and implies that the relationship will end in divorce, it is always best to play it safe. Also, a prenup allows both spouses to feel more comfortable and secure about their financial position, as well as open the communication for the couple, particularly when entering a second or third marriage.

Here are three compelling reasons why a pre-nuptial agreement is important in Florida:

Above all, a solid prenup should be enforceable. In other words, the agreements and conditions must be clear and easy for a court to uphold. Vague provisions may cause the court to request amendments or dismiss the filing.

Talking to a professional  family law attorney  will help determine which aspects are enforceable, making the prenup as good as it can be.
