A pre-nuptial agreement can eliminate much of the emotional and financial cost of a divorce. We have the experience and expertise to help you protect your assets when entering the commitment of marriage, or civil partnership.
An unromantic notion it may be, but a rapidly increasing number of couples are entering into pre-nuptial agreements. The agreement will set out, on a largely predetermined basis, the terms of financial settlement in the event of a divorce or dissolution of a civil partnership. This can cut out the potential for acrimonious and stressful court proceedings and the uncertainty that goes with that.
Unlike many other countries, pre-nuptial agreements are not binding on the Courts, which retain discretion over what terms of financial settlement are appropriate. However, recent cases have reflected increased judicial recognition of pre-nuptial agreements and The Law Commission has announced that it will be examining the circumstances in which courts should uphold pre-nuptial contracts, with the aim of drawing up a draft parliamentary Bill by 2012.
What is certain is that it is better to have one than not. We have the experience and expertise to protect your position, and your assets, as fully as possible.
