A prenuptial agreement is not the only option for couples who want to address financial arrangements contractually. Postnuptial agreements — executed after the wedding — cover much of the same subject matter and are subject to similar enforceability standards under Florida law. The key difference is that postnuptial agreements are evaluated more carefully for voluntariness, because the dynamics of an existing marriage differ from those of a couple negotiating before they wed.
Boca Raton couples who did not enter a prenup and have since experienced changes in their financial circumstances — a significant inheritance, a growing business, the acquisition of major real estate, or a shift in each spouse's earnings — sometimes find that a postnuptial agreement addresses concerns that the absence of a prenup left open. Brodzki Jacobs handles postnuptial agreement drafting and review and advises clients on what these agreements can realistically accomplish.
