What Florida Courts Consider in Marital Agreements

Florida law allows both prenuptial (before marriage) and postnuptial (after marriage) agreements to define how certain financial matters will be handled if the relationship ends in divorce. A marital agreement can clarify how property, business interests, investments, or inheritance will be treated. However, these agreements must adhere to legal standards. 

For a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement to be valid, the courts look at several key factors:

• Full financial disclosure: Each party must be transparent about their assets, debts, and income.
• Voluntary consent: Neither party can be pressured or coerced into signing.
• Fairness: The terms must be reasonable and not so one-sided that they appear unconscionable.
