Miami Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreement Attorneys

A well-drafted prenuptial or postnuptial agreement is one of the most powerful financial protections available under Florida law. A poorly drafted one is worse than no agreement at all — it provides a false sense of security and can be set aside by the court when it matters most.

At Reynoso Erickson Trial Law, P.A., we draft, review, and litigate prenuptial and postnuptial agreements throughout Miami. We know what Florida courts look for when deciding whether an agreement is enforceable — and we know how to challenge agreements that should not stand.

Understanding Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements in Florida

Both agreements are contracts between spouses (or future spouses) that determine how property, debts, and support will be handled in the event of divorce or death. These agreements can:

• Define what is marital property and what is separate
• Set rules for property division on divorce
• Address alimony
• Address rights and obligations regarding existing or future debts
• Protect family businesses, inheritances, and pre-marital assets

However, no agreement can determine child support or restrict a court’s authority over time-sharing — those issues always remain subject to the best interests of the child.

Prenuptial vs. Postnuptial

Prenuptial Agreements

Signed before marriage. Particularly important for spouses entering the marriage with significant assets, business interests, children from a prior relationship, or substantial debt.

Postnuptial Agreements

Signed during the marriage. Common in situations such as a spouse receiving a large inheritance, starting a business, or working through a marital dispute that the parties want to resolve without divorcing.

What Makes an Agreement Enforceable

Florida courts will enforce a properly executed prenuptial or postnuptial agreement, but they can set one aside when it was not entered into voluntarily, was procured through fraud, was signed without adequate financial disclosure, or is otherwise unfair under the law.

Common drafting mistakes that lead to invalidation include presenting the agreement on the eve of the wedding, inadequate disclosure of assets, and lack of independent legal counsel for both parties.

How We Handle Prenuptial and Postnuptial Cases

• Drafting: We prepare agreements designed to withstand challenge, with proper financial disclosure, clear language, and careful execution.
• Review: If your fiancé or spouse has presented an agreement, we review it carefully and negotiate revisions before you sign.
• Enforcement: When divorce comes, we move to enforce a valid agreement and protect the financial structure it created.
