When should you revise your prenup?

On Behalf of Rudolph & Associates LLC | Aug 24, 2023 | Divorce

According to a poll conducted by Harris Poll in 2022, approximately 15% of married couples have a prenuptial agreement. This is an increase from 2010 when only 3% of couples had one.

Entering into a prenuptial agreement is often a prudent decision for many couples in Florida. This legally binding document clarifies how you will divide your assets and debts if you get a divorce, ensuring both parties have protection. However, over time, life circumstances change, leading to the question: When is the right time to revise your prenup?

Changes in financial circumstances

One of the most common reasons to revise a prenup is a significant change in financial circumstances. If one of you inherits substantial wealth, starts a successful business or experiences a drastic financial downturn, it makes sense to reassess your agreement. Keeping the prenup updated ensures that it remains relevant and reflects the current financial situation.

Addition of children

The addition of children to a family often warrants a reevaluation of a prenup. Even though a prenup primarily deals with financial matters, considering the future welfare of children in terms of assets, trusts or other financial provisions becomes essential. By revising the agreement, you can ensure your children’s financial security in any unforeseen circumstances.

Change in views

Over the years, views and feelings about how you should divide property and other assets can evolve. What seemed fair and reasonable at the beginning of a marriage might not seem so a decade later. Such changes in perspective are a good reason to revisit and potentially modify your prenup.

Relocation to another state

Different states have different rules and interpretations of prenuptial agreements. If you move out of Florida or plan to do so, it is wise to revise your prenup according to the laws and regulations of your new state to avoid potential conflicts or misunderstandings in the future.

Life is dynamic, and change is inevitable. As you journey through marriage, many factors can prompt the revision of your prenup. It is not about doubting the strength or longevity of the relationship; instead, it is about proactively ensuring that the agreement remains fair, relevant and in line with both parties’ current circumstances and wishes.
