Navigating the complexities of divorce law and financial matters that are associated with it can feel overwhelming. Understanding your options is the first step towards securing your own financial future.
Whether you’re planning should the worst happen, or currently in the process of separating, know your options so that you can protect your assets and ensure your financial security.
A pre-nuptial agreement (often referred to as a “pre-nup”) is an agreement created before a marriage. This agreement outlines how your assets, debts, and other financial matters will be handled in the event of a divorce.
Pre-nuptial agreements are not automatically enforceable in courts in England and Wales. The fairness of upholding any agreement is considered on a case by case basis, which means a pre-nuptial agreement is not seen as a binding contract.
For more information on pre-nuptial agreements, contact one of our friendly family law experts.
Like a pre-nuptial agreement, a post-nuptial agreement is an agreement that outlines how assets, debts, financial matters and child living arrangements are handled should a marriage end in divorce.
The difference between a “pre-nup” and a “post-nup” is that a post-nuptial agreement is agreed once a couple has become married (rather than before the wedding).
Post-nuptial agreements are not currently legally binding in England and Wales.
For more information on post-nuptial agreements, contact one of our friendly family law experts.
A separation agreement (also called a deed of separation) allows couples to address key issues such as property division, child arrangements, and financial assets (like a divorce) without legally ending their marriage or civil partnership.
This formal agreement provides a legal framework for separation, offering couples the flexibility to negotiate terms and the time to decide whether to pursue a divorce or dissolution of their civil partnership in the future.
For a separation agreement to be upheld in court, it must be fair and reasonable to both parties.
