Please do not enter confidential or sensitive information.
What this tool does
The readiness assessment asks general questions about premarital assets, business ownership, prior marriages and children and identifies the categories of terms a prenuptial agreement in your situation would commonly need to address.
It is intended to help you and your future spouse organize your thinking before engaging counsel, not to draft or finalize any agreement.
How to use the result
- 1
Review the flagged topics
Note which categories (business protection, prior-marriage obligations, inheritance expectations) the tool identifies as relevant to your circumstances.
- 2
Begin gathering financial disclosure materials
Start compiling a general list of assets, debts and income for the financial disclosure the agreement will require.
- 3
Discuss timing with your future spouse
Note your wedding date and plan to begin the process with enough lead time for review and negotiation.
- 4
Schedule a consultation for each party
Independent representation for both parties supports the agreement's later enforceability.
What the tool does not do
It does not draft agreement language, does not evaluate the enforceability of any existing draft and does not account for the specific negotiating dynamics between you and your future spouse.
The output is general orientation only, not legal advice and using it does not create an attorney-client relationship with either party.
Why early planning matters for enforceability
Florida courts examine whether a prenuptial agreement was signed voluntarily, with full financial disclosure and without undue time pressure. Starting the process early, well before the wedding date, supports each of these factors.
Categories the tool commonly flags
- Treatment of a business owned or founded before the marriage, including its future appreciation.
- Obligations carried over from a prior marriage, including existing support arrangements.
- Expectations around inheritance and family gifts intended to remain separate property.
- General framework for spousal support in the event of divorce, where the parties wish to address it.
Answers
Frequently asked questions
- Does this tool draft my prenuptial agreement?
- No. It identifies general topics likely to be relevant based on your inputs; the agreement itself must be drafted and negotiated with counsel.
- Do both my partner and I need to use this tool separately?
- Either approach can work, but both parties should ultimately have their own independent counsel review the resulting agreement.
