Music superstar Taylor Swift and Super Bowl winning NFL football player Travis Kelce just said YES! That is right. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce just announced that they are engaged. Love is wonderful. Weddings are wonderful. Marriage should be wonderful. But, before you say, “I, Do,” consider a prenup.
You are excited about your engagement and you also want to protect your future. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are in the headlines, but my Apple Music knows me too well and keeps playing Kanye West’s Gold Digger: “we want prenup” over and over again. 
Between the engagement photos and the engagement announcements everything moves very quick. The attention from friends and family is entertaining, yet the lesson is practical. A smart prenup is not about mistrust. It is about clarity, fairness, and peace of mind for both partners. You would not consider going into business with someone without a business plan. Why would you go into a marriage without a prenup?
At TK Law, our mission is simple. We protect what matters and help you make your best decision. One thoughtful conversation today can prevent years of conflict tomorrow.
Consider this. What if you could agree on money expectations now, while you are on good terms, so that you avoid confusion or arguments later? For example, a Florida prenup can define separate property (inheritance and protecting premarital assets), assign responsibility for debts, and address hot button issues like spousal support and estate planning concerns.
And that is not all, when you have this conversation, you can also discuss things like children, one person being a stay-at-home parent, and who should get the house when one person makes the down payment. The options are almost unlimited.
Is a Prenup Right For You?
You may want a prenup if any of these feel true:
- You want to avoid a messy and expensive divorce in the future.
- Your family wants you to protect an inheritance, a business, or real estate.
- You have concerns about what happens to your estate upon your passing.
- You want a positive and respectful way to discuss money before the wedding.
How a Florida Prenup Works
A prenup can classify assets and debts, set expectations for spousal support, and outline what stays separate if you divorce. Your agreement becomes effective when you marry. Think of your prenup as a roadmap you both agree to follow.
The process matters. Timing, full disclosure, and independent legal advice all protect the sanctity of the agreement and make it more likely to be enforceable. Rushed signatures, missing disclosures or gaps in information create the very arguments you hope to avoid.
If You are Considering a Prenup, Take Your Time and Talk It Out
1) Pick the right time and tone. Start early, ideally months before the wedding.
2) Share complete financial information. List assets, debts, and income with simple schedules or statements.
3) Align on the big 3. Decide how to treat separate property, marital property, and appreciation; assign responsibility for current and future debts. Discuss expectations about spousal support; and, if a business exists, set rules for ownership, growth, and buyout options.
Top 5 Reasons Prenups Fail:
- Last-minute pressure
- Missing financial disclosures
- Vague or unenforceable terms
- Terms that appear unconscionable or one-sided
- Missing document or missing signatures
