Start your marriage with clarity, not uncertainty.
A prenuptial or postnuptial agreement is not about expecting a divorce. It is about making clear decisions together while you are on good terms. Attorney Jessica Ramirez-Garcia drafts and reviews marital agreements for couples in Miami-Dade and Broward, in English or Spanish.

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements
- Prenuptial agreement: signed before the wedding and effective once you marry.
- Postnuptial agreement: signed after you are already married, often after a change such as a new business, an inheritance, or a move to Florida.
What a marital agreement can cover
- Which property stays separate and which is shared
- How property and debts would be divided if the marriage ends
- Whether alimony will be paid, limited, or waived
- Protection of a family business or professional practice
- Inheritance rights, including rights to the home and the estate when one spouse dies
A marital agreement cannot reduce a child’s right to child support, and decisions about time-sharing are always made based on the child’s best interests at the time.
Making sure your agreement holds up
Florida courts generally enforce marital agreements, but an agreement can be challenged if it was not signed voluntarily, was the result of fraud, duress, or pressure, or was unfair when signed without fair disclosure of the other spouse’s finances. We help you avoid those problems with:
- Full and fair financial disclosure from both sides
- Enough time to review before signing, not the night before the wedding
- Separate lawyers for each spouse
- Clear, specific terms written for Florida law
Why couples choose JRG Law
- Bilingual representation in English and Spanish.
- Personal attention. You work directly with Jessica, a Florida Bar member since 2018.
- A compassionate approach shaped by her background in psychology.
- Two offices, by appointment in West Kendall and Coral Gables.
Frequently asked questions
Are prenups only for wealthy people?
No. Prenups are useful for anyone who owns a home or business, has children from a prior relationship, expects an inheritance, or simply wants clear expectations.
When should we sign our prenup?
As early as possible. Signing well before the wedding helps show that both of you entered the agreement freely.
Can we both use the same lawyer?
No. Each spouse should have their own lawyer, which also makes the agreement stronger.
Can we change a prenup later?
Yes. You can amend or cancel it with a new written agreement signed by both spouses.
