What Is a Prenuptial Agreement Under Florida Law?
A prenuptial agreement (also called a premarital agreement or “prenup”) is a written contract between two people who plan to marry. It can spell out what happens to:
- Property and assets
- Debts and liabilities
- Certain financial rights and responsibilities if the marriage ends in divorce or in death.
In Florida, a prenuptial agreement is generally enforceable if:
- It is in writing and signed by both parties
- Both people enter into it voluntarily
- Each person has full and honest financial disclosure
- The terms are not grossly unfair or “unconscionable”
Our job is to make sure your Orlando prenuptial agreement is drafted correctly, follows Florida law, and actually reflects what you want to happen if things do not go as planned.
Every case is different. The only way to know exactly what will happen in your situation is to sit down with us for a full consultation.
Why Consider a Prenuptial Agreement in Orlando or Central Florida?
Prenuptial agreements are not just for the ultra-wealthy. They’re for couples who want clarity, predictability, and fewer arguments about money.
You may want a prenup if you:
- Own real estate, investments, retirement accounts, or other significant assets.
- Own or are starting a business or professional practice.
- Have children from a prior relationship and want to protect certain assets for them.
- Have substantial debt (or your fiancé does), such as student loans, tax debt, or business loans.
- Expect an inheritance or regular financial gifts from family.
- Are entering a second or later marriage and want to “get it right” this time.
- Want to reduce the risk of a long, expensive, stressful court battle if there is a future divorce.
A well-drafted prenuptial agreement lets you decide these issues together now, instead of leaving everything to Florida’s default laws later.
What Can a Florida Prenuptial Agreement Cover?
Every couple’s financial situation is unique. A carefully drafted Florida prenuptial agreement can address:
Property and Assets
- What will be treated as marital vs. non-marital property
- How homes, vacation property, bank accounts, retirement, and investments are handled
Business interests
- A business or professional practice owned before marriage
- How growth in value, new ventures, shares, or partnerships will be treated
Debts and liabilities
- Responsibility for existing debt (student loans, credit cards, tax debt, business loans)
- How new debts taken on during the marriage will be handled
Spousal support (alimony)
- Whether alimony may be paid, in what amount, and for how long
- Whether alimony will be limited or waived, within what Florida law allows
Estate planning and inheritance
- How your prenup will coordinate with your will, trust, and beneficiary designations
- Protecting certain assets for children from prior relationships or specific heirs
Other financial expectations
- How you will treat large purchases, joint accounts, investments, or savings plans
We do not use generic online templates. We build your agreement around your actual finances, your goals, and your long-term plans.
What a Prenuptial Agreement Cannot Do in Florida
There are some important limits under Florida law. A prenup cannot:
- Decide child custody or parenting time in advance
- Waive or limit a child’s right to child support
If you already have children or plan to have them in the future, the court will always decide custody, time-sharing, and support based on the child’s best interests at the time of separation or divorce.
Your children’s well-being comes first. A good prenuptial agreement respects that and leaves children’s rights where they belong — with the court.
Florida Prenuptial Agreement Requirements
Florida’s prenuptial agreements are governed by the Florida Uniform Premarital Agreement Act. To be enforceable, the agreement should be:
- Voluntary
-
- No threats, no “sign this or the wedding is off” pressure, no last-minute surprises days before the ceremony
- Based on full financial disclosure
- Each partner provides an honest, reasonably complete picture of income, assets, and debts
- Fair and reasonable at the time of signing
- Not so one-sided that it would shock the conscience of the court
- Properly executed
- In writing, signed by both parties, and ideally reviewed and finalized well before the wedding
If these requirements are not met, the agreement can be challenged later. We structure and document your prenup with enforceability in mind from day one.
Every case is different. The only way to know how these rules apply to you is to sit down with us for a full consultation.

- Initial consultation

- You gather documentation of income, assets, and debts.
- We help you organize and present this clearly — this step is critical if the prenup is ever challenged.
- Drafting the agreement
- We prepare a detailed prenuptial agreement tailored to your goals and Florida law.
- We go through it with you in plain English so you understand every section.
- Review and negotiation
- Your fiancé is encouraged to have their own divorce attorney review the agreement.

- Finalization and signing
- Once everyone agrees, the agreement is signed well before the wedding date.
- We make sure it’s executed properly so it’s more likely to hold up later.
- Storage and future reference
- You keep signed copies, and we retain a copy in your file in case it’s ever needed in a divorce or estate matter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Prenuptial agreements can be enforceable in Florida if they are in writing, signed, voluntary, based on full financial disclosure, and not grossly unfair. If those elements are missing, the agreement can be challenged.
No. Florida courts decide child custody, time-sharing, and child support based on the child’s best interests at the time of separation or divorce. You cannot lock those terms into a prenuptial agreement.
The earlier, the better. Ideally, your prenuptial agreement should be fully negotiated and signed several months before the wedding to reduce any argument about pressure or coercion.
Yes. A prenup may be challenged if there was incomplete disclosure, coercion or duress, or if the terms are extremely one-sided. Working with an experienced Orlando prenuptial agreement attorney helps reduce these risks.
Yes. You can modify or revoke a prenup after marriage if both spouses agree in writing. You can also create a post-nuptial agreement, which must meet similar legal standards to be enforceable.
If you don’t have a prenup, Florida law controls how assets and debts are divided in a divorce. That default plan may not match what either of you actually intended, which is why many couples choose to create their own written agreement in advance.
