The most common types of marital agreements utilized are:
Premarital / Prenuptial agreements:
A pre-marital agreement is a legal contract that is created
and signed before the marriage. The purpose of a pre-marital
agreement is to prevent any problems or disputes over
property and support that could occur in the future or upon
divorce. Pre-marital agreements may be especially important
for those people who have accumulated substantial assets
prior to marrying or who have children from a prior
relationship.
Marital settlement agreements:
A post-marital agreement is a legal contract that is created
and signed after a marriage . It is also called a marital
settlement agreement or property settlement agreement.
Generally, marital agreements provide circumstances for
payment of support, division of property and debts, child
custody, child support, parenting plans, visitation, and/or
timesharing.
Marital separation agreements:
Marital separation agreements are written contracts between
a husband and wife entering into the divorce process.
Marital separation agreements can be drawn up when a couple
first decides to split up or during official divorce
proceedings. Marital separation agreements are often called
property settlement agreements. This is because marital
separation agreements are contracts which specify how
property is to be divided, how alimony and/or custody will
be paid (when applicable) and to spell out other legal
rights during the dissolution of marriage.
Marital property agreements:
Associated with the equitable distribution of property and
assets, a marital property agreement documents a mutual
agreement terms distribution of specific property and
assets. The marital property agreement usually acknowledges
a fair, but not necessarily equal, division of marital
property. In Florida, marital property is defined as assets,
income or property acquired during the marriage.
