Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Re: post-nuptial agreement

Yes you can. There are some requirements that must be met to make it valid. You should consult with an attorney about having this done.

Re: post-nuptial agreement

Yes, but it must be executed properly.

Yes, you can draw up a post nuptial agreement but she would be a fool to sign in after 14 years of marriage. Under Florida law, both parties share whatever is earned during the course of the marriage. It is imperative that both of the parties are represented by individual attorneys so neither can say the agreement was coerced or that it was signed without full knowledge and understanding. Further, one of the attorneys should draft the agreement to make sure it meets with the requirements of Florida law.
