A postnuptial agreement is similar to a prenuptial agreement, except that it is created after a couple has married. It carries many of the same requirements: both parties must make full disclosure of assets and liabilities and both parties must have the opportunity to have independent legal counsel.
Our South Florida law firm can assist in drafting, negotiating, reviewing and enforcing postnuptial agreements for clients in Palm Beach County and surrounding areas. Some of the matters we address within postnuptial agreements include:
- Defining property rights, including what property is considered separate and how property disposition should be handled in the future
- Outlining the financial rights of children from a prior marriage, to protect the inheritance rights of children in the event of death of the biological parent or divorce
- Identifying debts as the responsibility of one spouse or the other
- Addressing complex issues in business and divorce when spouses own a family business or one party has a professional practice or other separate business interests
- Resolving other matters such as defining or waiving alimony/spousal support and other complex issues
South Florida Postmarital Agreement Attorneys Providing Informative and Effective Counsel
The issue of creating a premarital or postmarital agreement can be confusing. Many feel that it means one or both spouses question whether the marriage will last. However, a postnuptial agreement can be an effective method to set everything out in the open. If the marriage does turn south, the couple can fall back on the agreement to expedite the frequently complex process of dissolution.
