Frequently Asked Questions About JustPrenups
What is a prenup?
A prenuptial agreement, also known as a prenup, is a legal contract between two people who are about to get married. The agreement sets forth the terms of property division and spousal support in the event of a divorce.
How much does it cost to get a prenup?
Cost varies depending on whether you want representation or mediation. The costs vary based on the number of hours required to complete the contract and the disclosure. People with a more complex picture of alimony, child support, business ownership with partners, lawsuits, unfinished probate on an inheritance, etc. will need more hours of labor and therefore incur a higher fee for the prenup.
Who pays for a prenup?
There is no set answer to this question. Many couples opt to split the cost so that each pays 50%. For others, one partner pays for all service costs, which may also include a translator and a notary. Some couples split expenses in proportion to the income each produces. In some situations, the parents of one or both partners offer to cover all costs.
My partner has a fairly decent proficiency in English. However, my partner does not have a grasp of English that includes more sophisticated legal terms. Can we still get a prenup?
Potentially yes. Plan to avoid that obstacle by translating the document into the partner’s first language. At JustPrenups, you are responsible for finding and hiring a neutral, third-party translator who has adequate competency with understanding and drafting legal concepts and technical legal language in both languages.
Can a prenuptial agreement cover spousal support or alimony?
Yes. Some couples opt for no spousal support or alimony. Others scale support based on the number of years together. Alimony may be a lump sum once, or it may last for a certain duration.
Do all prenups prevent alimony?
No, not all. Some couples plan for alimony and how each will be protected if the marriage ends, which may include limited or scaled alimony.
Can a prenup address issues related to children?
By law, prenups and postnups may not address child support or timesharing, as these issues are determined through the Florida family court system.
How do prenups impact divorce proceedings and settlements if we decide to divorce?
In the event of a divorce, a prenuptial agreement can help streamline the property division and spousal support processes. If the agreement is enforceable, the terms set forth in the agreement will typically be followed, rather than the default property division and spousal support laws of the state.
Is a prenuptial agreement legally binding forever?
Yes. The contract is alive throughout the life of the marriage. However, the parties can agree to a sunsetting clause that voids the prenup at a certain time akin to a self-destruct button or an expiration date. The fact of signing a prenup does not oblige you to marry the person. The prenup, once properly executed, takes effect and is legally binding after the wedding (unless there are circumstances that would invalidate the prenup).
My comic strip/novel/short film/business idea is starting to take off and become an income stream for me. Can my prenup address my rights to keep my work as my own?
Your prenup may address intellectual property (“IP”), which can include patents, trade secrets, beta prototypes, business plans, client lists, artwork, code, etc.
What is a prenuptial agreement and what does it cover?
A prenuptial agreement, or prenup, is a legal contract between two people about to get married that outlines property division and spousal support terms in case of divorce.
How much does it cost to get a prenup through JustPrenups?
Costs vary based on the complexity of your situation, required hours, and whether you choose representation or mediation. More complex cases involving business or alimony require more hours and higher fees.
Who typically pays for the prenup services?
Payment arrangements differ: couples may split costs 50/50, one partner may pay all, or costs may be divided proportionally or covered by parents.
Can JustPrenups assist with prenuptial agreements if one partner has limited English proficiency?
Yes, but you must hire a neutral, third-party translator proficient in legal terms and both languages to translate the document.
Do prenuptial agreements from JustPrenups cover spousal support or alimony?
Yes. Prenups can include terms about spousal support or alimony, including no alimony, lump sums, or scaled support based on years married.
Can a prenup address issues related to child support or custody?
No. Prenuptial agreements cannot address child support or timesharing, as these matters are handled by Florida family courts.
