With the emotional stress of divorce, it makes sense to avoid the financial uncertainty that often accompanies divorce by planning in advance. Pre- and post-marital agreements protect your hard-earned assets from separation and dilution both during and after the marriage. Whether it is the threat of divorce or the start of a new family business that triggers your interest in a post-nuptial agreement, your best bet is to consult an attorney with experience in drafting such agreements. The attorneys at The Law Firm for Family Law in Clearwater are well suited to assist you with keeping your interests separate in a post-nuptial agreement recognized by Florida courts.

What is a post-marital or post-nuptial agreement?

A post marital or post-nuptial agreement is a legal contract drafted after a couple is already married. It settles the couple’s affairs and assets in the event of a separation, divorce or death. It includes provisions for division of property, spousal support and other marital issues. Specifically, a post-marital or post-nuptial agreement:

Ensures privacy
Prevents a messy, expensive dispute over assets during divorce
Protects your wealth
Fix spousal and child support amounts

Provides that children from a previous marriage are taken care of
Protects other relatives or beneficiaries
Removes surprises

While you should organize agreements separating marital property before the wedding itself, Florida law permits post-marital agreements as well. St. Petersburg pre-nuptial agreements attorneys are your best bet to obtaining enforceable pre-marital and post-marital agreements. For a Clearwater divorce attorney skilled in drafting asset protection agreements at any time during your relationship, The Law Firm for Family Law is here for you.
