Florida Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements
Florida prenups and postnups, carefully drafted.
Florida prenuptial and postnuptial agreements drafted by an attorney with 22 years of matrimonial law experience. Flat fee, scoped at consultation. The drafting is the protection — most agreements that fail in court fail because of how they were drafted, not the terms.
Florida prenuptial & postnuptial agreements
A prenuptial agreement is signed before marriage; a postnuptial agreement is signed after. Both define how property, debts, support, and other financial matters will be handled under Florida law — clearly, in writing, before anything is in dispute. Done well, they protect both spouses and meaningfully reduce the chance of contested litigation later.
I draft, review, and negotiate these agreements for clients across Florida, with a focus on Miami-Dade and South Florida. The work is done online — most clients never set foot in an office.
Florida law in plain terms
Florida enforces premarital agreements under the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act (Fla. Stat. ch. 61.079). For an agreement to hold up, three things matter most: full and fair financial disclosure between the spouses, voluntary execution without pressure, and substantive fairness. Postnuptial agreements are held to an even closer standard because spouses already owe each other fiduciary duties once married.
Most agreements that fail in court fail because of how they were drafted, signed, or disclosed — not because the underlying terms were unreasonable. The drafting is the protection.
Who this is for
- Couples entering a second marriage with children or prior estates.
- Business owners, founders, and professionals with separate property to protect.
- Spouses with significant disparity in income, assets, or inheritance expectations.
- Couples who want to align expectations about finances before tension arises.
- Married couples who want to formalize terms now (postnup), not in a crisis.
What you get
- An expert attorney drafting and reviewing each provision — not a template.
- Plain-language explanation of every clause and its real-world effect.
- Coordination with your spouse’s independent counsel where required.
- Florida-law compliance: financial disclosure, voluntariness, fairness review.
- Final signed agreement, ready for execution and safekeeping.
Fee
Typical Florida prenup flat fee: $3,500–$7,500. Typical Florida postnup flat fee: $4,500–$9,500.
Final fee scoped at consultation based on assets involved, complexity of terms, coordination with your spouse’s counsel, and turnaround. Written engagement letter before any drafting.
Most prenups: 3–6 weeks. Most postnups: 4–8 weeks.
Why a litigator-trained attorney drafts a stronger Florida prenup.
For 22 years I watched prenups get attacked in Florida courtrooms. I know what survives challenge — full and fair financial disclosure, real time to read and reflect, independent counsel for each spouse, substantively fair terms. That courtroom experience is now poured entirely into the drafting, where it matters most.
Frequently asked questions
Are prenups enforceable in Florida?
Yes — when the requirements of Fla. Stat. ch. 61.079 are met: full financial disclosure, voluntary execution, and substantive fairness.
Can we sign a postnup if we’re already married?
Yes. Postnuptial agreements are valid in Florida and are often the right tool for couples who want clarity now without rewriting the marriage itself.
Does my fiancé or spouse need a separate attorney?
Strongly recommended. Independent counsel for the other spouse meaningfully strengthens enforceability and protects both sides.
Do you serve clients outside Miami-Dade?
Yes. The practice is online and statewide across Florida. Most clients are in South Florida, but I work with people throughout the state.
How it starts
Begin with a consultation. We discuss what you want the agreement to do, what each spouse brings to the table, and what Florida law requires for the agreement to be enforceable. From there, I quote the flat fee and we proceed only if you choose to.
Drafting and review are advisory services. I do not represent clients in contested enforcement litigation. See Disclosures for complete scope-of-practice language.
How the four bands work
Pricing reflects depth of review.
Strategy Audit — $750
A 45-minute private consultation where I listen to your concerns, review your case strategy, examine the public docket, and identify your most critical exposure points. The $750 is credited in full toward your engagement fee if you proceed. If you decide not to move forward, you leave with a clear, independent read on where your case actually stands — from someone with no interest in prolonging it.
Band A
Foundation
$3,500
Pre-filing or early-stage. Organized record. One core strategic question. The only Second Opinion that delivers a written, portable strategic asset for buyers who aren't yet in court — and aren't ready for a monthly counsel relationship.
Band B
Active Case
$7,500
Your case is moving. There's pressure — mediation coming, a settlement offer on the table, or a decision you can't un-make. You have an attorney, but you're not sure if the strategy is the right one. This is where most clients land.
Band C
High-Conflict
$12,500
High stakes. A business, real property, or significant financial assets are in dispute. Multiple issues moving simultaneously. Something in your case feels fundamentally off — not just tactically, but strategically. You need more than a second opinion. You need a full re-read.
Band D
Bespoke
Custom
One discrete issue that doesn't need a full review. Or a multi-front, high-value matter that goes well beyond High-Conflict. Either way, the fee is scoped to fit the problem — quoted in writing after your Strategy Audit.
The $750 intake credits toward whichever band you’re assigned.
