In this episode of the Attorney Patrick Smith Show, Attorney Patrick Smith dives deep into the complicated world of prenuptial and postnuptial agreements in Florida — what makes them enforceable, what can invalidate them, and why more couples than ever are using them to protect family assets, inheritances, and financial futures. Patrick breaks down real Florida law, key legal requirements, famous celebrity prenup disasters, and landmark cases like Casto v. Casto that continue shaping family law today.
The show also explores real-world divorce and property disputes during live listener calls, including questions about mortgages, marital settlement agreements, and property rights after divorce. Patrick explains how courts evaluate fairness, disclosure, coercion, and financial transparency when determining whether a prenup or postnup will stand up in court.
Later in the episode, Patrick is joined by Florida State Senator Jonathan Martin for an in-depth conversation about Governor Ron DeSantis’ proposed plan to eliminate Florida homestead property taxes. They discuss the constitutional implications, how the proposal could affect homeowners across Florida, and why the issue may become one of the most important ballot initiatives in state history.
Plus, the show wraps up with a look at current Major League Baseball litigation involving the Chicago Cubs and Wrigley Field rooftop owners, highlighting the fascinating intersection of sports, intellectual property, and business law.
Whether you’re planning a marriage, protecting your assets, navigating divorce, or simply interested in Florida law and policy, this episode delivers practical legal insight with humor, personality, and real-world examples.
