According to Florida case law, antenuptial agreements are presumed valid and are interpreted in the same manner as other types of contracts. This is true even though the parties have a relationship of trust and confidence towards one another.
See: In re Estate of Macarell 254 So.2d 240
In our examination of the evidence presented by this voluminous record, certain principles, well established and long recognized in this area of the law, must be our guide: (1) an antenuptial agreement — even though the parties occupy toward each other a relationship of trust and confidence — is presumptively valid and binding upon the parties; while the law requires that each party to the agreement act with the utmost good faith and candor toward the other party, the law presumes that this requirement has been fulfilled and the burden of proving the invalidity of an antenuptial agreement rests upon the party who so charges * * *. (at 361) (Emphasis in original.)
