Many people believe that prenups are only a tool for the rich. While it's true that wealthy people use prenups to bring clarity to the issues involved in a high-net-worth divorce, prenups are a wise investment in many situations, such as:
When one party in the marriage plans to pass on assets to children from a previous marriage.
Protecting one party in the marriage from the debts of the other.
Those who want the peace of mind of knowing, should the marriage end, what their financial rights and responsibilities will be.
Bear in mind: In Florida, if a couple divorces, the courts generally seek a 50/50 equitable distribution of assets. A prenup puts the power in the hands of the couple to determine how their assets will be distributed on their own.
