Prenuptial vs. Postnuptial Agreements
Prenuptial agreements (often shortened to “prenups”) are contracts created before a marriage. These agreements outline how to divide assets, handle spousal and child support, and deal with other financial matters in the event of a divorce or death. Postnuptial agreements address the same things. However, they are created after couples are already married.
What Can You Include in these Agreements?
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can include numerous provisions to protect your and your spouse's interests.
Common matters these agreements cover include the following:
- Division of assets and debts
- Property ownership rights
- Inheritance issues for children from previous relationships
- Support obligations, including alimony and child support
- Retirement benefits division
- Business interests and investments
- Tax obligations
In addition to the above, agreements can outline what should happen if a spouse is unfaithful or participates in some kind of financial misconduct.

The Benefits of Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements
Some may view prenuptial and postnuptial agreements as unromantic or unnecessary. However, these agreements offer numerous benefits that outweigh negative perceptions. First and foremost, these agreements foster open, honest communication between spouses before and/or during a marriage. In many cases, this can build trust and strengthen a relationship.
Below are other significant benefits:
- Asset protection: In a divorce, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can prevent lengthy and expensive court battles over asset division. Clarification of financial expectations: By discussing and outlining financial matters before or during a marriage, you can avoid potential conflicts or misunderstandings.
- Preservation of family inheritance: Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can safeguard inheritances for children from previous relationships.
- Business continuity: For married couples who own a business together, these agreements can safeguard the continuity and stability of the business in case of divorce.
- Privacy protection: By having an agreement in place, you can keep personal and financial matters private.
Can You Change or Contest a Prenuptial or Postnuptial Agreement?
Yes, you can change or contest a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement. However, the process and success of doing so will depend on various factors, including the specific provisions in the agreement, Florida law, and the circumstances surrounding the creation of the agreement. In general, it is best to seek legal assistance if you wish to change or contest an existing prenuptial or postnuptial agreement.
