Nuptial Agreements

A pre/post-nuptial agreement is a written contract between two people who are about to marry, or have just married, setting out the terms of possession of assets, treatment of future earnings, control of the property of each, and potential division if the marriage is later dissolved.

These agreements are fairly common if either or both parties have substantial assets, children from a prior marriage, potential inheritances or have high incomes.

These agreements are being given increasingly more weight by the courts in determining how finances should be split upon separation provided both couples have had independent legal advice, made a full disclosure of assets and entered into the agreement voluntarily.
