Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreement Lawyer Miami
Marriage is a significant commitment, and while couples enter it with love and trust, financial clarity and protection are essential. A prenuptial agreement (prenup) or postnuptial agreement (postnup) ensures that both spouses understand their financial rights and responsibilities, preventing costly disputes in the future. These agreements are not just for the wealthy—they are a practical tool for any couple looking to define property division, protect assets, or establish financial expectations.
At Cruz Legal, P.A., attorney Marisol Cruz helps couples create legally sound prenuptial and postnuptial agreements that comply with Florida law. Whether you need a new agreement drafted, an existing agreement reviewed, or legal guidance on enforcement, we ensure that your interests are protected.
What Is a Prenuptial Agreement?
A prenuptial agreement (prenup) is a legally binding contract that a couple signs before marriage. It outlines how assets, debts, and financial matters will be handled during the marriage and in the event of divorce.
Common Reasons to Get a Prenup:
- Protect assets acquired before marriage
- Define how marital property will be divided
- Safeguard a business or professional practice
- Determine alimony (spousal support) terms
- Avoid lengthy and expensive divorce battles
- Protect one spouse from the other’s debts
A prenup does not indicate a lack of trust—it is a smart financial tool that protects both spouses.
What Is a Postnuptial Agreement?
A postnuptial agreement (postnup) serves the same purpose as a prenup but is signed after the couple is already married. Postnups are useful when:
- Financial situations change after marriage (business success, inheritance, etc.)
- A couple wants to modify or strengthen a previous prenup
- One spouse wants to protect separate assets acquired during marriage
- Marital conflicts arise, and a financial agreement is needed for stability
What Can a Prenup or Postnup Cover?
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can cover:
- Division of assets and debts in divorce
- Ownership of real estate and personal property
- Business ownership and financial interests
- Retirement accounts and financial planning
- Inheritance rights and family assets
- Debt protection (preventing one spouse from being liable for the other’s debts)
- Alimony terms (whether it will be paid and how much)
What Prenups & Postnups Cannot Cover
Florida law does not allow prenups or postnups to decide:
- Child custody arrangements
- Child support obligations
- Any issues relating to minor children
All terms within the agreement must be legal under Florida law.
Do You Need a Prenuptial or Postnuptial Agreement?
Many people assume prenups and postnups are only for the wealthy, but they benefit any couple looking to protect their financial future. You should consider a prenup or postnup if:
- You own a business, real estate, or high-value assets
- One spouse has significant debt
- You want to clarify financial responsibilities in the marriage
- You want to avoid legal disputes in the event of divorce
- You have children from a previous relationship and want to protect their inheritance
Are Prenups & Postnups Legally Enforceable in Florida?
Yes—but only if they meet Florida’s legal requirements. To be enforceable, the agreement must:
- Be in writing and signed by both parties
- Be entered into voluntarily (without pressure or coercion)
- Fully disclose each spouse’s financial assets and debts
- Be signed with sufficient time to consider the terms of the agreement
If a prenup or postnup is incomplete or signed under pressure, a judge may invalidate the agreement in court. That’s why it’s crucial to have a qualified attorney draft and review your agreement.
Can a Prenup or Postnup Be Challenged in Court?
Yes. A court may invalidate a prenup or postnup if:
- It was signed under duress or coercion
- One spouse failed to disclose assets or debts
- The terms are unconscionable
- The agreement violates Florida law
If you’re considering challenging your prenup or postnup, we can help you challenge it in court.
