Family Law - Pre-Nuptial Agreements

The increasing incidents of divorce and the effects of the Courts redistributive powers on divorce have led to the to the emergence of Pre-nuptial agreements, which are designed to protect the separate property of either or both of the spouses on the dissolution of the marriage. Although they are currently unenforceable under English Law, they may be highly influential or even determinative in a case. More importantly, they may become (retrospectively) enforceable under English Law.

Therefore, it may be of benefit to obtain early advice if considering getting married, in connection with entering into a pre-nuptial agreement.
