This pre-nuptial agreement, also called a pre-marital agreement is suitable for any couple, post marriage. It provides that all property owned by each party prior to the agreement shall remain the property of that party in the event of separation and sets out what should happen to property acquired jointly after the date of the agreement. It also includes provision for other important matters such as children, other assets and the matrimonial home. It states that neither party shall make any financial claim upon the other in the event of separation or divorce.
The courts are not obliged to enforce such agreements although they are accepting of them more these days.
This straightforward agreement states that all property owned by each party prior to the marriage shall remain the property of that party in the event of separation or divorce and sets out what should happen to property acquired during the marriage.
Be sure to sign plenty of time before the marriage so that it can be proven that the contract was not signed under pressure (duress).
