Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
I signed a prenup AT my wedding that I only recieved the night before, seven years ago. If I didn't sign it, my husband to be would end the relationship.
In the prenup I signed, it states that any property purchased during our marriage would be considered joint ownership, but he just purchased a condo at the beach and I am not on the deed and will not have any rights to the property.
Do I have legal legs to stand on nulling the prenup and/or when we divorce, receiving any benefit from the condo?

Yes, maybe. I would beed to see the documents. Contact my office for free consultation. Typically in this type of divorce the first part of the case is to challenge and litigate the issue of the validity of the pre-nup.
You answered your own question - any property purchased during the marriage would be joint ownership - just because he purchased in his name does not break the prenup - it was purchased after the marriage and therefore is considered joint property. If you are having problems in the marriage, I suggest you take your pre nup to an attorney and review your standing. If you wish to break the prenup you will need to show undue influence and fraud on the part of your husband.
