Prenuptial Agreements

Often referred to as a “prenup,” is a legal contract entered into by a couple before they get married. This agreement outlines the division of assets and financial responsibilities in the event of a divorce. While the concept of a prenuptial agreement might seem unromantic, it can be a practical and beneficial tool for many couples.

CALL US NOW 786 539-4935

The Purpose of a Prenuptial Agreement

1. Protection of Assets: One of the primary reasons couples opt for a prenuptial agreement is to protect their individual assets. This is particularly important for individuals entering a marriage with significant personal wealth or property.

2. Debt Clarification: A prenup can outline each party’s responsibility for pre-existing debts. This ensures that one spouse is not held liable for the other’s financial obligations incurred before the marriage.

3. Business Interests: If one or both partners own a business, a prenup can protect the business assets and future income. This can prevent disputes over business valuation and ownership in the event of a divorce.

4. Inheritance Rights: Prenuptial agreements can protect family heirlooms and inheritance. This is particularly relevant in second marriages, where there might be children from previous relationships.

CALL US NOW 786 539-4935

Key Components of a Prenuptial Agreement

1. Full Disclosure: Both parties must fully disclose their financial situation, including assets, debts, and income. Transparency is crucial for the agreement to be valid.

2. Public Policy and Fairness: The agreement must not contravene public policy, a law, or be completely unfair.

3. Voluntary Agreement: Both parties must enter the agreement voluntarily, without coercion or undue pressure. It’s advisable for each party to have independent legal representation.

4. Future Spousal Support: The agreement can outline whether either party will receive spousal support (alimony) in the event of a divorce and under what conditions.

Common Misconceptions

1. Prenups Are Only for the Wealthy: While they are common among high-net-worth individuals, prenuptial agreements can benefit anyone who wishes to protect their financial interests.

2. Prenups Indicate a Lack of Trust: A prenup doesn’t mean a lack of trust or love. It’s a precautionary measure, much like insurance, that can provide peace of mind for both parties.

3. Prenups Are Set in Stone: Prenuptial agreements can be amended or revoked after marriage with the consent of both parties. It’s a flexible document that can adapt to changing circumstances.

Conclusion

A prenuptial agreement is a practical tool that can help couples manage their financial futures and prevent potential conflicts. By discussing and agreeing on financial matters before marriage, couples can build a stronger foundation of trust and understanding.

If you’re considering a prenuptial agreement, it’s essential to consult with an experienced family law attorney to ensure that the agreement is fair, comprehensive, and legally binding. Taking this step can help protect your assets, clarify financial responsibilities, and provide peace of mind for the future.

We are your best choice for a Miami Partition Lawyer.  We are lawyers experienced in partition cases.  Our experience as partition lawyers ranges from routine cases to highly contested and litigated cases.  We can put that experience to work for you.

When you own a property with someone and you need to get the property sold but the other owner won’t cooperate you can file a partition action seeking the sale of the property.

In a partition case the court can order the property sold through a public or private sale and determines how the proceeds should be divided based upon each parties interest, who paid the property expenses, what expenses have not been paid, and if a party was excluded from the jointly owned property, it can give  a credit for the fair share of the rental value foregone.

If you have a jointly owned property that needs to be sold over the objection of the co-owner call us to discuss your situation.

How can I change my legal name in Florida?

In a divorce or adoption case the Court can order a name change as part of the paternity or adoption case.

For those that just want to change their legal name and are not involved in a divorce or adoption case, the Court has a separate procedure to change your legal name through a Petition for Change of Name.

What is required for a name change to a new name?

Where a party is not seeking to restore a name they have had in the past, the Court requires that a party submit to a fingerprint test and background check as part of the process.

In so doing, the Court seeks to confirms that a party is not seeking to change their legal name to try to avoid a prior criminal history, bankruptcy, or civil judgment.

Once the Court is satisfied that all legal conditions have been met and there is no legal reason not to change the name, a Final Judgment is entered by the Court.

What do I have to do once my name is legally changed?

A party then needs to obtain certified copies of the Judgment to send to the various state and federal agencies to have their records and documents updated to reflect the new legal name. This can be quite a process if you consider how many places keep record using our names. 

You will want to change of your name with Social Security Administration, ask for re issuance of your passport , obtain a new driver’s license or identification card, and then update all your other licenses and accounts.  This can be quite a process so it should not be taken lightly.

If you want an attorney to assist you change your legal name please call us.

If you have a prenuptial agreement and there is going to be a question of enforcement before a court it is important that you have substantial and competent evidence to support your enforcement claim.   You need to be able to prove your case.

In the case of Dalmazo v. Dalmazo, the Third District Court of Appeals reversed the trial court’s enforcement of a prenuptial agreement marital home and jointly owned property buy out provision because there was not substantial competent evidence to establish that the Husband had timely provided the written notice to the Wife required in the prenuptial agreement.

The Court cited to Pardes v. Pardes, 335 So. 3d 1241, 1244 (Fla. 3d DCA 2021) (observing that a trial court’s factual findings made with respect to the application of a prenuptial agreement are reviewed for competent, substantial evidence); Bardowell v. Bardowell, 975 So. 2d 628, 629 (Fla. 4th DCA 2008) (Distribution of marital assets and liabilities must be supported by factual findings in the judgment or order based upon competent substantial evidence).

It appears that if the trial court had been presented with evidence of the Husband’s timely compliance with the marital home and jointly owned property written notice buy out provision of the prenuptial agreement, by having sent and had a timely written notice to the Wife and having it admitted into evidence, the trial court would not have been reversed on the issue and the prenuptial agreement would have been enforced and upheld on appeal.

It is unclear from the opinion whether timely written notice was not provided by the Husband, or that it was provided and simply was not admitted into evidence.

If you are going to seek enforcement of a prenuptial agreement you need to make sure you take the right steps from the beginning and then, if enforcement is necessary, provide the court with the substantial competent evidence necessary to prove your claim. Failure to do either may result in the prenuptial agreement not being enforced.

If you have questions about a prenuptial agreement, are divorcing with a prenuptial agreement, or need to enforce one contact us, and we can discuss your specific situation. (786) 539-4935

 

We recently had success in pursuing a private cause of action for termination of parental rights where a child had been, abandoned, abused, and neglected by the Mother. 

Such private causes of actions, as opposed to actions brought by the Department of Children and Families, are both uncommon and complex . 

The trial lasted several days and was the culmination of years of litigation in the case.  Based upon the evidence presented, the  trial Court terminated the parental rights of the Mother based upon abuse, abandonment and neglect without requiring any attempts at reunification with the Mother. 

After success at the trial level the 3rd District Court of Appeals  upheld the trial Court’s ruling. The Mother is seeking Further review but is unlikely to succeed in that regard.

If you have questions about a termination of parental rights case call us to discuss your situation on (786) 539-4935.
