Frequently Asked Questions
Where would a dispute over my agreement be heard?
If a prenup or postnup is raised in a Miami-Dade divorce, it is typically addressed through the Family Division of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida at the Lawson E. Thomas Courthouse Center, 175 NW 1st Ave., Miami, FL 33128. For prenups, Florida’s Uniform Premarital Agreement Act, §61.079, Fla. Stat., requires the agreement to be in writing and signed by both parties, and it takes effect when you marry. A prenup cannot reduce a child’s right to support.
Do I have to come into the Miami office, or can we handle this virtually?
You are welcome to meet in person, by appointment, at our Miami office at 701 Brickell Ave., Suite 1550, Miami, FL 33131. We can also handle your consultation and much of your case by phone or video, depending on what your situation calls for.
How much does a prenup or postnup cost in Miami?
The cost turns on how complex your assets are, how much negotiation is needed, and whether you need a new agreement drafted or an existing one reviewed. We go over fees directly and transparently during your consultation, once we understand what you are planning.
