No. 3D16-2932 Lower Tribunal No. 16-16940 ________________

Kahena Kristine Gallerani, Appellant,

vs.

Cristiano Piquet, Appellee.

An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Reemberto Diaz, Judge.

Jason B. Giller, P.A., and Tricia Neimand; Keith D. Silverstein, for appellant.

Michael Lascelle, P.A., and Jeffrey Greenhaus, for appellee.

Before SALTER, EMAS, and LOGUE, JJ.

PER CURIAM. “Valid prenuptial agreements regarding post-dissolution support are

contracts.” Lashkajani v. Lashkajani, 911 So. 2d 1154, 1158 (Fla. 2005). Because

courts have recently enforced similar provisions, see Weymouth v. Weymouth, 87

So. 3d 30, 32 (Fla. 4th DCA 2012), we reverse the trial judge’s determination that

the provision of the prenuptial agreement at issue is void against Florida’s public

policy, hold that Ms. Gallerani has met the conditions of that provision, and

remand for entry of a revised final judgment of dissolution of marriage ratifying,

incorporating, and enforcing the prenuptial agreement including the provision at

issue.

Reversed and remanded with instructions.
