Benefits of a Prenuptial Agreement
A prenuptial agreement is an agreement between prospective spouses made
in contemplation of marriage. Prenups control the division of property,
such as homes, motor vehicles, retirement accounts, and even stock options.
They must be finalized before a marriage occurs and become effective as
soon as the parties are legally married.
The following are the advantages of a prenuptial agreement in Florida:
- Protects your financial stability
- Protects your children’s financial future, especially if you are
entering a second marriage
- Protects you from a spouse with ulterior motives
- Determines what is considered community and separate property
- Protects your business from becoming community property, if you are a small
business owner
- Protects you from having to share debts, especially if your spouse has
more debt than you
- Reduces conflicts during a divorce
- Establishes rules and procedures for financial issues which may arise in
the future

Unfortunately, there is no simple way to bring about the topic of a prenuptial
agreement to your significant other. While it is not considered romantic,
discussing financial matters early in your relationship can make it even
stronger and help establish a healthy communication in your marriage.
