What Are Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements?
A prenuptial agreement is a legal contract created before marriage that outlines how you and your spouse will handle financial matters if the marriage ends in divorce or legal separation. These enable you to enter marriage with a clear understanding of your and your spouse's financial rights and obligations.
A postnuptial agreement is similar in purpose to a prenuptial agreement but is created after a couple is already married. Creating one can be incredibly beneficial for addressing unforeseen circumstances and happenings in your marriage, such as business ownership changes or inheritances.
What Goes in These Agreements?
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are remarkably versatile legal tools. Here are some of the many provisions that can be addressed in your custom agreement:
- Property ownership
- Asset protection (including family businesses, inheritances, and personal assets)
- Debt
- Alimony (often referred to as spousal support)
- Division of household expenses
- Estate planning (wills, trusts, and other matters)
When we work with clients to craft agreements, we make certain they are comprehensive, enforceable, and tailored to couples' goals and interests. At Benjamin Law, personalized services are the standard.
Can You Alter an Agreement?
Florida law permits altering or completely voiding prenuptial and postnuptial agreements in certain circumstances.
Some common reasons for this include:
- The contract was signed under coercion or duress
- One spouse lacked the mental capacity to understand the terms of the agreement at the time it was signed
- One party did not disclose all assets or debts during negotiations
- Both parties agree to amend or cancel the agreement
- A significant change in circumstances (such as a career change, inheritance, or child) calls for an alteration
If you have reason to believe your prenuptial or postnuptial agreement should be revised, reach out to Benjamin Law as soon as possible. We can review the situation and advise you on how to move forward.

Why You Should Create a Prenuptial or Postnuptial Agreement
Many couples believe they do not need a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement because they have limited assets or trust their partner. However, these agreements are not just for the wealthy, and they are not about mistrust.
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are beneficial for:
- Reducing the likelihood of disputes by setting clear expectations upfront
- Protecting individual assets and establishing a plan for fair property division
- Preventing one spouse from being unfairly responsible for the individual or shared debt
- Preserving the operations and continuity of a shared business
- Giving you the ability to focus on your relationship, knowing that any financial uncertainties have been addressed
Creating these agreements does not have to be contentious or stressful. In fact, we see the conversations that lead to prenuptial and postnuptial agreements often strengthen couples' relationships and foster healthy communication.
