A pre-nuptial agreement (or a pre-civil partnership agreement) is essentially a contract formed between parties in advance of their marriage or civil partnership which seeks to address various issues regarding their assets in the event of their relationship breaking down.
Pre-nuptial agreements are likely to be of interest to anyone who is thinking about marrying or forming a civil partnership and who wishes to protect their assets and interests, particularly if they have other dependents such as children. The agreement can cater for specific circumstances such as the division of assets on divorce, death, financial responsibilities during marriage and how disputes are to be resolved.
