Pre-marital advice

Many couples choose to enter into a Pre-Nuptial Agreement. This enables couples to consider how their finances will be divided in the unfortunate event that the marriage or civil partnership breaks down.

Pre-Nuptial Agreements are not binding on the Court and are not strictly enforceable. However, if properly prepared, they can provide the Court with valuable and persuasive evidence of the couple's intention they are likely to be taken into account when the Court makes a financial Order. We can help you to make sure that your Pre-Nuptial Agreement carries as much weight as possible.
