It depends on the specifics of the prenuptial agreement. If it was well drafted per Florida law, then it should work. Even without the prenuptial agreement, if the commercial real estate was purchased prior to the marriage, it might not be considered marital property.

The above information is provided without any consideration/payment having been received, and without full knowledge of all of the facts.

An internet inquiry is no substitution for an in-office consultation with an attorney.

The purpose of the prenup is to separate the property and keep those things that belong to you separate and apart. If your prenup is worded correctly and you never co-mingle that asset with the spouse, then the prenup will protect your assets from being considered marital property.
