Contracts are not only limited to businesses. Sometimes, marriages also require contracts for certain occurrences in the marriage. In other words, these contracts define what happens in a marriage when something else happens. More accurately put, this contract is known as a prenuptial agreement, also called “prenup.” It is a contract put in place by two people which they must agree on before getting married. If you are getting married in Orlando and you need a prenuptial agreement drawn out for you, you can get in touch with a family law practice in Orlando such as Frank Family Law.
A standard prenuptial agreement has its content, and it will accommodate most of the things that you and your spouse would like to include in it, but some things cannot be in the agreement because of some regulations. Below are some of them;
Over time, a lot of couples have signed prenuptial agreements with the intention to end the marriage at any time. So, they usually include some things in the agreement that may encourage them to go through with a divorce. For this reason, courts scrutinize agreements to make sure they do not encourage divorce.
If a marriage ends up in a divorce, the judge will decide on what happens to the children regarding child support, visitation and child custody.
Personal issues cannot be included in a prenuptial agreement. Issues that can only be settled between a couple are not to be taken to court for settling. Some of the issues include choosing a holiday destination, the division of household chores, complaints of each other’s bad habits, etc. These issues cannot be included in a prenuptial agreement.
A prenuptial agreement must be within the confines of the law. It cannot contain illegal issues such as sharing earnings from fraudulent businesses.
