Couples intending to marry or enter into a civil partnership are increasingly considering making a pre-nuptial agreement setting out the financial terms which should apply in the event that the relationship breaks down.
As there can be issues of legality with Prenuptial Agreements, it is crucial to seek the best possible advice and to have your agreement expertly drafted if the couples' interests are to be protected as intended.
Although becoming more common, prenuptial agreements are not strictly legally binding, but a recent landmark court case has clarified that courts should take them fully into consideration in many cases.
Amongst our guides to various aspects of family law provided on this web site, Family Law partner Caroline Ford has provided a brief guide to prenuptial agreements and a further update covering the recent landmark court case in this area.
