Agreements

In Florida, marital agreements address property rights, debts, spousal support, business interests, inheritance considerations, and the treatment of assets during the marriage or in the event it ends. Epstein Family Law, P.A. advises clients in drafting and reviewing these agreements, explaining their legal implications, and protecting financial and personal interests before disputes arise.

Importance of Marital Agreements in Florida

Marital agreements include prenuptial agreements, postnuptial agreements, and marital settlement agreements. These are written contracts between spouses, individuals intending to marry, or parties dissolving their marriage.

Prenuptial Agreements

A prenuptial agreement is signed before marriage. It may identify separate property, address responsibility for debts, protect family businesses, define rights in future earnings, and set terms for alimony when allowed by law. These agreements are often used by people entering a second marriage, bringing substantial assets into the marriage, or seeking added clarity about financial matters from the start.

Postnuptial Agreements

A postnuptial agreement is signed after the parties are already married. Couples may use this type of agreement after a major financial change, the creation of a business, an inheritance, or a period of marital strain. Postnuptial agreements can address many of the same subjects as prenuptial agreements, but they must still meet Florida legal standards to be enforceable.
