SPECIALIST PRE-NUP/POST-NUP AGREEMENTS

PRE-NUPTIAL AGREEMENTS

A Pre-Nup is an agreement drawn up in anticipation of marriage, setting out what would happen in the event of marriage breakdown. A Pre Nup Agreement is usually upheld by the court unless its overall effect would be considered unfair. Although they are not strictly legally binding, they will stand, provided all the essential elements such as both parties having had legal advice, both parties having had full and frank financial disclosure and appropriate provision being made for children is provided. It is therefore important to have this drawn up correctly by expert Pre-Nup Solicitors. It is also possible to use mediation or collaborative law to come to an agreement about the terms of such an agreement.

POST-NUPTIAL AGREEMENTS

A Post- Nuptial is an agreement drawn up after marriage setting out what would happen in the event of marriage breakdown. Again, not strictly legally binding, but if both parties have had full and frank financial disclosure, had legal advice and made appropriate arrangements for any children of the family and the overall effect is not unfair, they are likely to be upheld by the court.
