Life after marriage can be stressful, and worrying about your future assets and debts can make it even more so. In many cases, couples choose to create a postnuptial agreement to put these concerns to rest. A postnuptial agreement can protect or reorganize your marital properties in the event of divorce or death.

Unlike a prenuptial agreement, a postnuptial agreement is created after a couple is married. Although both documents can essentially accomplish the same things, postnuptial agreements require the disclosure of all financial information, whereas prenuptial agreements do not.

Developing a Postnuptial Agreement

In order to be enforceable and valid within the state of Florida, postnuptial agreements must meet the following requirements:

  • All information pertaining to the agreement must be written in the document. Oral agreements are not enforceable.
  • All financial information, including assets, debts, and income, must be fully disclosed to both parties upon drafting the document.
  • Both parties must sign the document purposefully and voluntarily.
  • The terms of the postnuptial agreement must be fair and executable. In the event of a dissolution, the court will review the terms written in the agreement. If blatantly one-sided, the court will consider the agreement unfair and unenforceable.
  • The agreement must be notarized within the state of Florida.

The proper family law attorney can help develop the right agreement for you and your spouse.

Through a postnuptial agreement, you and your spouse can predetermine:

  • How assets and liabilities will be split in the event of a dissolution
  • If and for how long spousal support payments will occur
  • How assets will be handled in the event one spouse dies during marriage

Establishing these prior to a disillusion can greatly alleviate divorce negotiations or litigation down the road. In the event of a divorce, the postnuptial agreement can even be used as a separation agreement.
