Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements
Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements help couples manage their assets, specifying what should happen if the marriage ends. While not legally binding in England and Wales, they are persuasive when full disclosure, independent legal advice, and voluntary consent are met. For the best outcome, pre-nuptial agreements should be finalised at least 28 days before the wedding.
Full asset disclosure is essential for a pre- or post-nuptial agreement to be upheld. This includes detailing assets, income, and liabilities. Regular reviews are recommended, especially with life changes like having children, to ensure continued fairness and enforceability.
Astle Paterson’s family law team assists with drafting or reviewing pre- and post-nuptial agreements, focusing on fairness and transparency. We provide tailored support to help clients create agreements that are likely to be upheld.
