Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are legal contracts that help you define financial rights and responsibilities during marriage.

My name is Karen Ozyjowski, and I am the founder of the Law Office of Karen C. Ozyjowski, P.A.. Since 2006, I have helped couples and families in Spring Hill, Pasco County and Hernando County with family law matters.

As your prenuptial and postnuptial agreement lawyer, I aim to help you protect your assets.
Crafting Valid Prenuptial And Postnuptial Agreements In Florida
To be legally enforceable, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements must:
- Be in writing and signed by both parties
- Be entered into voluntarily without coercion
- Include full financial disclosure of assets and debts
- Be properly witnessed and notarized
As a family attorney who understands the legal standards surrounding asset protection planning, I can help ensure all required disclosures are completed.
What Can You Include In A Prenuptial And Postnuptial Agreement?
Depending on your needs, a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement may address:
- Separate property preservation
- Business ownership protection
- Real estate holdings
- Retirement accounts and investments
- Student loan and debt allocation
- Estate planning considerations
- Spousal rights waiver
- Protection of inheritances
- Pet ownership responsibilities
Prenuptial agreements should be signed a few months before the wedding to avoid claims of coercion. In contrast, postnuptial agreements can be signed at any time during the marriage. I can work closely with you to create a customized agreement that reflects your long-term financial goals.
What A Prenup Agreement Cannot Protect In Florida
Under Florida law, certain provisions in prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are excluded. These include:
- Child custody
- Visitation rights
- Child support
- Parenting decisions
- Lifestyle rules or personal conduct requirements
Florida courts always decide child-related matters based on the best interests of any involved children. I can help ensure your agreement complies with the law.
How Much Will A Prenuptial Agreement Cost You In Florida?
