What these agreements do
A prenuptial agreement is signed before marriage and sets out how property and support would be handled if the marriage ends. A postnuptial agreement does the same after a couple is already married. Both can protect a business, family assets, or children from a prior relationship, and can reduce conflict later.
What they can cover
A Florida agreement can address many financial questions, such as:
- How property and debts are treated as marital or separate
- What happens to a business or specific assets
- Whether and how alimony would apply
What makes an agreement enforceable
To hold up in Florida, an agreement generally must be in writing, signed voluntarily, and based on fair and full financial disclosure, and it must not be unconscionable. Having each partner advised by their own attorney strengthens it.

Common questions
Can a prenuptial agreement be set aside in Florida?
Yes. A court may set aside an agreement that was signed involuntarily, without fair financial disclosure, or that is unconscionable.
Do both partners need their own lawyer?
It is not always required, but independent legal advice for each partner helps show the agreement was entered fairly and makes it more likely to be enforced.
