If you are a resident of the greater Orlando, Florida area and you’ve decided that you need a prenuptial agreement, you’ll want to know what can be included. An experienced family law attorney will be the best source of information for your specific needs. This article is intended to put forth basic guidelines. Generally a prenuptial agreement can include the following:
a. Division of property upon divorce;
b. Whether particular items are considered community property or separate property;
c. Ownership of the marital residence;
d. Responsibility for premarital debts;
e. Distribution of property upon divorce;
f. Alimony obligations;
g. Financial responsibilities during the marriage;
h. Under which state’s law the prenuptial agreement is (otherwise it will be the state of the divorce, and not the marriage);
i. How disputes about the prenuptial agreement are to be resolve (for instance through mediation or arbitration); and
j. Sunset clause – many couples allow that their prenuptial agreement will not be valid if they are married for a certain number of years.
