Prenuptial Agreement

This provides, so far as possible, certainty for couples who plan to marry and wish to be clear about their respective future rights in relation to financial, property and children issues, should the marriage come to an end. It is suitable for both couples who are planning to marry and couples seeking to register their civil partnership.

The pre-nuptial agreement must be entered into voluntarily at least 21 days prior to the wedding or civil partnership ceremony. Both parties must have had independent legal advice also. It is important to be aware that the agreement is not strictly binding on the Court in the event of any subsequent dispute. However, the Court can take the agreement into account, provided it has been properly and fairly prepared and both parties have had independent legal advice.

We can advise you of the issues that you might wish to consider and, once you and your partner have agreed, we can draft the agreement for signature.
