Time is often spent on combating, defending and interpreting marriage contracts. Essentially, the agreements are not very different from the treaties. But marriage contracts are very particular types of contracts and have many complex requirements that are not normally part of a normal contract. If there is significant sdratonated money referred to in the Prenup agreement, it is almost self-evident that lawyers on both sides will devote considerable resources to divorce if Prenup does regulate divorce.

To fully understand what a prenup agreement is, you need to know what type of problem part of a valid prenup may be part of. Under florida`s Pre-Marriage Agreement Act, a prenup may not contain any violation of law or public order. Ideally, a Florida prenup agreement, drawn up by a competent Prenup lawyer, should be in the hands of the other future spouse or his or her lawyer several months before the marriage.

This is not practical in many situations. But the more it is done in advance, the better the future. The day before the wedding, it`s probably too late. A year before the wedding is too early. You should shoot for a reasonable time for both parties to sign the agreement before the wedding. A month is probably comfortable, and lots for possible future court battles. A rule of thumb: the more assets involved, the more the other party needs to «head up.» As a lawyer, we can only represent one party, even in amicable circumstances. We strongly recommend that your intentional spouse hire his or her own lawyer to represent them in the performance of the marriage contract. This is a crucial step that will make this marital agreement even more binding in the future.

Each future judge will see that your intended spouse was legally represented and that, therefore, the agreement was not entered into «excessively» or under duress. If your spouse cannot afford a lawyer, we recommend that you make money available to your spouse for this purpose, but it is important that they contact a lawyer on your own. A prenup agreement in Florida will play no role in determining custody and assistance to children in the event of divorce. The marriage agreement can be a legally enforceable contract.
