The marital settlement agreement is typically prepared by the attorneys representing each spouse.
In some cases, if the divorce is amicable and the issues are straightforward, the spouses may choose to draft the agreement themselves using online templates or guides – but it’s still advisable to have an attorney review it to ensure its legality and fairness.
Alternatively, a mediator can assist in marital settlement agreement preparation if the couple is using mediation to resolve their differences.
Regardless of who drafts the marital settlement agreement in Florida, it is essential for both parties to fully understand the terms and implications before signing. That’s one of the things we’re here to help with!
