Failure to draft a properly executed Postnuptial Agreement can lead to serious and expensive consequences.
Postnuptial agreements must:
- Show that both parties had reasonable opportunity to understand and consider each.
- The document must be signed in the presence of two witnesses.
- Each of the spouses’ assets and intent regarding the assets must be clearly identified in the document.
- Spouses cannot waive rights child support obligations.
- Temporary alimony cannot be waived either.
The number one reason why Postnuptial Agreements are deemed non-enforceable is…
When a person buys postnuptial packages on-line and tries to execute those documents without legal counsel. DON’T MAKE THIS MISTAKE.
A Postnuptial Agreement will be invalidated if a spouse can prove:
- The document is not in compliance with Florida law
- The document was not properly executed
- The parties did not execute the agreement voluntarily
- The agreement was procured by fraud, duress, or coercion
- One spouse failed to disclose all of his or her assets
- the agreement was unconscionable (“illegally unfair”) when the couple signed it, and the spouse challenging the agreement:
- wasn’t given a fair and reasonable disclosure of the other spouse’s financial circumstances
- didn’t waive in writing the right to receive a fair disclosure of the other spouse’s assets and debts, and
- didn’t have or couldn’t reasonably have had knowledge of the other spouse’s financial circumstances.
- One spouse did not understand the terms of the agreement
