“Do I need a prenuptial agreement?” This is a question many have when considering marriage. It is a myth that prenuptial agreements are only for wealthy people or people who have a lot of assets to protect. A prenuptial agreement can be viewed as a way to save considerable money if there is a divorce - you can pay a fraction of what it will cost in attorney’s fees to have issues related to your marriage resolved now, rather than possibly paying a lot more later if these issues need to be decided at the time of divorce. The power of a prenuptial agreement is seen in the recent case Winrow v. Heider, 4D21-3122 (Fla. 4th DCA May 24, 2023).

When it is time to enforce a Florida prenuptial agreement, both spouses should feel confident that what they agreed to when they married will be honored when they divorce. Sometimes, however, when divorce happens, spouses do not always agree on how words in the agreement are interpreted, leading to expensive litigation. This is why it is important to have an agreement that has straightforward, clear terms. Interpretation of a prenuptial agreement was an issue in the case Shobola v. Shobola, 2D20-3657 (Fla. 2d DCA December 7, 2022).
