Why enter a premarital or postnuptial contract?
Partners may enter a marriage owning significant assets or with lucrative careers well underway. Without safeguards in place, divorce can jeopardize hard-earned money and reduce financial security. In addition, an ex-spouse can unfairly win an award of property intended for children born during a previous relationship. A prenuptial agreement permits spouses to decide which assets an individual will keep if the marriage ends.
A couple may choose to create a postnuptial agreement during the marriage as a means of enhancing the relationship. An equitable property agreement can give a spouse financial security and peace of mind.
Negotiating a fair prenuptial agreement in Florida
Our attorneys at the Law Offices of Schwartz | White understand that a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement can be a sensitive subject. We also recognize that the goal is to maintain a healthy relationship in addition to reaching our clients’ financial objectives. To preserve goodwill and harmony, our lawyers treat both spouses with respect and dignity throughout the negotiating process.
Challenging a prenuptial agreement during divorce
Although a properly negotiated, well-drafted prenuptial agreement should withstand scrutiny during divorce, either party may successfully challenge the validity of the contract if:
- A spouse did not have competent representation during the negotiation process
- A spouse did not disclose relevant financial assets or accurately portray the value of their property
- Fraud, coercion, misrepresentation or force was used to compel one of the parties to agree to the terms of the contract
- The contract is so inequitable as to be unconscionable
