There are several reasons a court may decide not to honor a prenuptial agreement. In 2007 Florida enacted its own version of the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act, or UPAA, which clearly indicates the reasons why a court will not enforce a prenuptial agreement. For example, the court will not enforce the agreement if it is not entered into voluntarily. In addition, both parties have an obligation to disclose all property and financial information to one another and a prenuptial agreement cannot not be presented to a party within a few days of the wedding. Instead, both individuals must have a reasonable time to consider the document and its potential consequences.

Fraud, duress, coercion, and overreaching are just a few that come to mind.
