Pre & post nuptial agreement solicitors

A ‘prenuptial agreement’, or ‘pre marriage agreement’, often called a ‘prenup’, is an agreement between a couple prior to their marriage or civil partnership. It allows you to state how your assets will be split in the unhappy event of a divorce or dissolution of your civil partnership.

These agreements are not enforceable by the court, but a court can give them significant weight if prepared properly.
You need to ensure the prenuptial agreement clearly and accurately records your intentions, protects your interests, and would be considered as persuasive by a court. That means it’s wise to draw up the agreement together with your partner and with advice from a family law solicitor.

A post-nuptial agreement, or "post-nup," is a practical legal agreement made after marriage or civil partnership to outline how finances, assets, and obligations will be handled during the relationship or in the event of separation or divorce. While not automatically binding in the UK, courts give weight to post-nups if they are fair, transparent, and freely agreed upon, with full financial disclosure and independent legal advice. Our expert family law solicitors can help you create a tailored post-nup to protect your interests and provide clarity for your future together.

Prenuptial agreements, once seen as exclusive to celebrities and the wealthy, are now increasingly common in England, with one in five couples choosing them to protect pre-marital assets, future inheritances, or the interests of children from previous relationships. These agreements provide clarity on asset division in the event of a marriage or civil partnership breakdown, helping couples make objective decisions and avoid costly legal disputes. Our expert solicitors specialise in drafting legally valid prenuptial agreements, offering tailored advice to suit your circumstances.

It’s important to seek legal advice on a prenuptial agreement well in advance, aiming to finalise it at least 28 days before your wedding or civil partnership to ensure it holds weight in court and avoids claims of duress. If time is too short, a postnuptial agreement, entered into after marriage, can address similar issues. Our experts can advise on the best option for your circumstances.

While not automatically binding in the UK, courts give weight to post-nups if they are fair, transparent, and freely agreed upon, with full financial disclosure and independent legal advice. Post-nups are increasingly popular due to changes in financial or family circumstances, inheritance protection, business ownership, or second marriages.
