Protect What Matters Most—Before and During Marriage
Marriage is a bond built on love and commitment—but it’s also a legal partnership with significant financial implications. Whether you’re preparing to marry or already in a committed relationship, a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement can give you clarity, peace of mind, and control over your financial future.
At Law Help Florida, we help couples create thoughtful, legally sound agreements tailored to their unique situations. Our goal? To help you make informed decisions and prevent future conflict, all while respecting the emotional nature of your relationship.
What’s the Difference Between a Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreement?
- Prenuptial Agreement: Signed before marriage.
- Postnuptial Agreement: Created after the marriage has begun.
Both serve to protect assets, clarify financial rights, and avoid costly disputes in the event of divorce or death.
Key Issues a Marital Agreement Can Address:
🔒 Property Ownership
Couples often enter marriage with vastly different financial backgrounds. A prenup can define how separate and joint property will be treated—especially in high-asset or second marriages.
💳 Debt Allocation
Student loans, credit card debt, and business liabilities can create financial imbalance. A marital agreement can clarify who is responsible for existing or future debts.
💼 Business Protection
If one spouse owns a business, a prenup can ensure that the company’s assets and income remain protected and aren’t subject to division during divorce.
👨👩👧 Inheritance Rights for Children from Prior Relationships
Prenuptial agreements can include provisions to protect the inheritance of children from a previous relationship, ensuring they receive intended assets.
💔 Alimony (Spousal Support)
Couples can predefine whether alimony will be awarded and, if so, on what terms. For example, if one partner leaves the workforce to raise children, the agreement might provide support.
🚫 Misconduct & Infidelity Clauses
While not enforceable in every state, some couples choose to include clauses about infidelity or other behavior affecting financial terms in divorce.
Important Note: Marital agreements cannot determine child custody or child support—that authority lies with the court and must reflect the child’s best interests.
