GUIDANCE ABOUT PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENTS

Until recently it has been the case that agreements made before marriage by a husband and a wife that attempted to influence the way divorce courts allocate assets were of little value. However recent case law indicates that England is catching up with the rest of Europe and the courts are now taking them into consideration when deciding on the division of matrimonial assets.

These are the items that should receive consideration when drawing up an agreement:-

• division of property
• maintenance
• debts
• personal rights
• child arrangements
• various practical matters
• the reason why a prenuptial agreement is being drawn up
