Description
In this case, we consider the enforceability of a prevailing party attorneys fees provision in a prenuptial agreement. The Second District Court of Appeal certified the following question of great public importance: "May the parties, by express provision in a prenuptial agreement, contract away a future obligation to pay attorneys fees and costs during the term of the marriage by providing for prevailing party attorneys fees in actions seeking to enforce or prevent the breach of the prenuptial agreement?" Lashkajani v. Lashkajani, 855 So. 2d 87, 90 (Fla. 2d DCA 2003). We have discretionary jurisdiction and granted review. Lashkajani v. Lashkajani, 879 So. 2d 622 (Fla. 2004) (order granting review); see art. V, § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const. For the reasons explained below, we answer the certified question in the affirmative.
