They are a great way to ensure that your property, assets, and interests are safeguarded in the event of divorce or death. If not drafted properly, a marital agreement may be unenforceable in court.

Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements in Florida
You may question the merits of a marital agreement or wonder how it could affect your relationship with your partner. However, in cases where couples have been married before, have children from previous marriages, or enter a marriage with significant assets or substantial debt, a marital agreement can provide clarity and stability for the future.
To stand up in court, a marital agreement must:
- Be typed or printed in black ink.
- Be voluntarily signed by both parties getting married.
- Contain a full and accurate disclosure of a spouse’s assets, income, property, and debts.
- Be free from any type of fraud, duress, or coercion.
Both premarital and post-marital agreements can be tailored to the couple’s unique needs and the circumstances of their relationship.
A comprehensive marital agreement may include provisions about:
- A spouse’s rights regarding property or assets
- Wills
- Death benefits
- Inheritance for children
- Community vs. Separate property
- Related financial matters
- Spousal support
While an agreement about spousal support may be included, child support and child custody cannot be determined by a prenup.
