Hahamovitch v. Hahamovitch

A case that was talked about extensively at last year’s certification review in Orlando, Hahamovitch v. Hahamovitch, has returned, this time with the Supreme Court weighing in and approving the 4th DCAs opinion. The case involves interpretation of prenuptial agreements. The 2d DCA case of Irwin v. Irwin and the 3d DCA case of Valdes v. Valdes have been disapproved to the extent that they conflict with Hahamovitch. The parties in their prenuptial agreement successfully waived as marital the enhancement of the value of nonmarital assets due to marital labors. Specific language of the prenuptial agreement is cited in the opinion, so it is recommended that that language be used in prenuptial agreements that we draft. The language is in separate paragraphs which are to be read in conjunction with one another.
