## Common questions
- [What is a prenup?](https://divorcedocumentvault.com/ask/prenup-meaning): A prenup, or prenuptial agreement, is a written contract two people sign before marrying that sets out how property, debts and finances will be treated if the marriage ends. Whether a specific agreement holds up is a question for a family-law attorney.
- [Where is a prenup kept?](https://divorcedocumentvault.com/ask/prenup-storage-location): A prenuptial agreement is usually held by the attorney who drafted it, by one or both spouses, or in a safe deposit box or private vault. Whoever holds it, the original needs to survive decades and stay producible by the person who needs it.
- [What paperwork do you need for a divorce?](https://divorcedocumentvault.com/ask/divorce-paperwork): A Florida divorce involves court forms plus mandatory financial disclosure, which usually means tax returns, pay records, bank and investment statements, deeds, titles, loan documents and any marital agreement. The exact list for a case is set by the attorney handling it.
- [What is a financial affidavit in a divorce?](https://divorcedocumentvault.com/ask/financial-affidavit): A financial affidavit is a sworn statement of each spouse's income, expenses, assets and liabilities, filed in a Florida divorce on a form the court publishes. Accurate figures depend on having the statements, titles and records behind them.
- [How do I prepare for divorce financially?](https://divorcedocumentvault.com/ask/divorce-financial-preparation): Preparing financially for divorce usually starts with locating originals — tax returns, statements, deeds, titles, loan documents and any marital agreement — and listing what exists and where. Strategy belongs to a family-law attorney and a financial professional; organization is the part within your control.
- [What counts as premarital property in a Florida divorce?](https://divorcedocumentvault.com/ask/premarital-property): Florida law treats assets acquired by either party before the marriage, and assets acquired in exchange for them, as nonmarital. Whether a particular asset keeps that status depends on the records that show it, which is a question for an attorney.
- [Who keeps the original copy of the will?](https://divorcedocumentvault.com/ask/original-will-custody): The person who made the will normally keeps the original, or leaves it with the attorney who drafted it or with a court where that is permitted. An original carries weight a photocopy does not, so where it sits matters.
- [Where are important documents kept?](https://divorcedocumentvault.com/ask/important-document-storage): Most households keep important documents at home in a drawer or a fireproof box, and some use a bank safe deposit box or a private vault. What a given document has to survive decides which of those is enough.
- [What do people use instead of safe deposit boxes?](https://divorcedocumentvault.com/ask/safe-deposit-box-alternatives): Private vault boxes, home safes and specialist depositories are the usual alternatives to a bank safe deposit box. Many banks have reduced or closed box services at branches, which is why the question comes up at all.
- [How long is a prenup good for?](https://divorcedocumentvault.com/ask/prenup-duration): A prenuptial agreement generally stays in force until the marriage ends or both parties change it in writing, unless the agreement itself sets an end date. Whether a particular agreement is enforceable is a question for a family-law attorney.
- [Can I write my own prenup without a lawyer?](https://divorcedocumentvault.com/ask/diy-prenup): A prenuptial agreement written without counsel may be challenged on grounds that include disclosure and independent representation, which is why attorneys are usually involved on both sides. Whether a specific agreement holds is a legal question for a family-law attorney.
- [Is a private vault box anonymous?](https://divorcedocumentvault.com/ask/vault-anonymity): A private vault box is not anonymous. Every renter is identified against government-issued photo ID, every entry is logged and timestamped, and valid subpoenas and court orders are honored.
- [Can both spouses have access to a vault box?](https://divorcedocumentvault.com/ask/joint-box-access): A vault box can be rented by one person, by two people jointly, or in the name of a trust or company, and the rental agreement decides who may enter. Choosing that structure before it matters is the useful part.

## Guides
- [What documents you need for divorce, grouped by type](https://divorcedocumentvault.com/guide/documents-needed-for-divorce): The documents a divorce calls for can be sorted into eight groups: income, accounts, property, debts, marital agreements, pre-marriage records, insurance and retirement, and identity papers. Florida divorce involves mandatory financial disclosure. The exact list for any case is set by the attorney handling it.
- [Preparing for divorce financially, starting with the paper](https://divorcedocumentvault.com/guide/preparing-for-divorce-financially): Financial preparation for divorce starts with records: locate the originals, list every account and asset with where its paperwork sits, separate what predates the marriage, and account for shared logins and cloud storage. Money, tax, and strategy decisions belong to a family-law attorney and a financial professional.
- [Premarital assets in divorce, and the paper that dates them](https://divorcedocumentvault.com/guide/premarital-assets-in-divorce): Florida law treats assets acquired before the marriage, and assets acquired in exchange for them, as nonmarital, along with assets received separately by gift, bequest, devise, or descent. Showing an asset qualifies takes dated records: statements, purchase and title papers, appraisals, and inheritance papers.
