Prenuptial &
Post Nuptial Agreements

Prenuptial or post-nuptial agreements, which are effectively planning for a potential breakdown of a relationship, can seem ‘unromantic’. However, having a conversation about protecting your assets could be a worthwhile move that can safeguard against lengthy and costly disputes if you were to get divorced or separated.

A prenuptial agreement is implemented before a couple is married, whilst a post-nuptial agreement is implemented after marriage.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

It may seem negative and implausible to consider your marriage ending, but the reality is that over 50% of UK marriages end in divorce or separation. With this in mind, all couples should take the time to plan how they will handle liabilities, property, and finances should the relationship break down.

At Bridge McFarland LLP, our experienced team of Family Law Solicitors understand the ins and outs of pre-marital and post-marital agreements. Even if you are in a happy and stable relationship, you may face issues in the future, so putting a pre or post-nuptial agreement in place is invaluable.
