Prenuptial agreements can be important to the stability of a marriage when one or both spouses:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Have significant assets or real estate holdings<\/li>\n<li>Have retirement benefits and\/or employment benefits<\/li>\n<li>Have significant debt<\/li>\n<li>Have a business or professional practice<\/li>\n<li>Plan to go to school while the other spouse works<\/li>\n<li>Wish to protect assets for children of a prior marriage<\/li>\n<li>Anticipate a sizable inheritance in the future<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Life is uncertain. A few years ago, you probably didn\u2019t know you\u2019d be engaged now and preparing to get married. Who knows what the future holds? That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to be prepared for events you cannot anticipate, and make clear your expectations, financial and otherwise, before you say \u201cI do.\u201d Signing a prenuptial agreement does not lead to divorce; rather it acknowledges that most marriages encounter some difficulties along the way. In fact, far from stirring up animosity, a prenuptial agreement promotes peace of mind during the marriage and fosters stability. For this reason, prenuptial agreements are not only for the wealthy. People from all walks of life can benefit from the security of a prenuptial agreement.<\/p>\n<h2>Florida Prenuptial Agreement Video FAQs<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Can a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement decide future child support?<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4tkwWcOxslI?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If drafted properly, a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement will protect you and will be binding.

Protection is something that we always advise parties to think about at the time or before getting married.<\/p>\n<p>A prenuptial agreement will protect your assets. You can determine at that point if alimony is something that either one of you is going to be entitled to, how the assets are going to split, what is marital, what is non-marital, and so on. You can even agree on attorney fees if maybe, let&#8217;s say, your spouse is going to contest that the prenuptial agreement at that point during a divorce. You can agree before getting married that if he contests it, then he will be the person, or she will be the person, paying those attorney fees.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">How can a prenup protect my children?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fw66lqKvkRk?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>A prenup cannot really protect your children because a prenup, you cannot pre-decide on issues to do with the children such as time-sharing, parenting plan or child support.

The prenuptial agreement is a contract that you will enter into prior to getting married. At the time that you enter into the agreement, you and your spouse will predetermine how to split your assets, your liabilities, and if alimony is something that either of you are going to be entitled to. The reason that all couples need to at least consider entering into a prenuptial agreement is because you never know what&#8217;s going to happen in the future.

Getting a prenuptial agreement, and if drafted correctly by an attorney, will protect your assets and maybe prevent you from carrying liability that you should not be carrying had you not had the prenuptial agreement for protection. Another thing to think about is what if your assets increase in value to a certain degree that your spouse is not entitled to that asset had you not had the prenuptial agreement in place. So the main reason is for protection.<\/p>\n<h2>Talk to an experienced Orlando family lawyer about how a prenuptial agreement can be a strong foundation for your marriage.<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s no doubt getting married is one of the most exciting times in a person\u2019s life.
