Florida Divorce Settlement & Agreement Attorneys

Representing Florida Clients for Over 10 Years

Although the purpose of prenuptial agreements and postnuptial agreements is to determine how property and assets are to be distributed upon a divorce, they are not always upheld by courts. At the law office of Dunlop, Dunlop, & Dunlop, P.A., we have been practicing law for over 10 years and are very knowledgeable in Florida's divorce settlement and agreement laws. We represent individuals involved in a divorce with enforcing or weakening prenuptial and postnuptial settlement agreements. Contact our Orlando, Florida, legal separation lawyers to discuss your case.

Prenuptial Agreements - Can they be rebutted?

Prenuptial agreements are created prior to marriage and are intended to protect individuals' assets they had prior to marriage in the event of a divorce. In order for a prenuptial agreement to be valid, both parties must completely disclose all financial information, including IRA's, real estate property, pensions, annuities, investments, and other property. Problems arise in prenuptial agreements when a party is not completely honest when disclosing information.

Our divorce settlement lawyers are skilled in presenting information to weaken prenuptial agreements in order to invalidate all or part of the agreement. Because the individuals do not have access to the other party's assets prior to marriage, a prenuptial agreement is very difficult to enforce.

Postnuptial Agreements - How can I enforce or rebut it?

Postnuptial agreements are created after individuals are married and are intended to protect assets and investments such as a new inheritance. Similar to a prenuptial agreement, there must be a full disclosure of assets in an agreement and the agreement must be fair to both parties. However, because the individuals are married, both parties should have more access and knowledge of the other's financial information. Therefore, postnuptial agreements are more commonly enforced than prenuptial agreements.

Our firm is effective in representing individuals who want to enforce postnuptial marital settlements and in representing individuals who wish to rebut the contract. We look at the agreement and analyze it for weaknesses. If we are working to enforce the agreement, we work to establish defenses for the weaknesses. If we are working to invalidate the agreement, we strongly point out the weaknesses to the other party. Through the process, we skillfully negotiate and strive to achieve a favorable settlement regarding the matter.
