Getting Married

The only way in Florida to waive the statutory rights of a spouse is through a pre or postnuptial agreement.

A prenuptial, or ante nuptial, agreement is entered into prior to marriage.  It is the easier of the two.  Full financial disclosure and legal representation of both parties is not absolutely required, but is recommended.

Postnuptial agreements do require full financial disclosure and that both spouses are represented by legal counsel and that both attorneys sign the agreement along with the spouses.
