Prenuptial Agreements – FAQs

What factors do Courts consider when evaluating prenuptial agreements?

The evaluation of a prenuptial agreement is only relevant if the marriage/civil partnership has come to an end, and the financial settlement cannot be agreed upon.  Courts consider several factors, including whether:

  • If it was entered into freely by both parties;
  • With a full understanding of its implications, and
  • If it is deemed fair in the circumstances.

Can a prenuptial agreement be modified after marriage?

Yes, prenuptial agreements can be modified with the consent of both parties, and in fact it is important that regular reviews are undertaken of the preputial agreement.. It’s advisable to seek legal assistance for any amendments to ensure they are enforceable.

What is the significance of the Radmacher v Granatino case?

The Radmacher v Granatino (2010) case established that prenuptial agreements should be upheld unless it would be unfair to do so. This case significantly influenced how Courts view prenuptial agreements in England.

Are foreign prenuptial agreements recognised?

Foreign prenuptial agreements are not automatically enforceable in England. The Courts will consider the terms of the agreement and whether they are fair under English law.

How can I ensure my prenuptial agreement is enforceable?

To increase the likelihood of enforceability, ensure the agreement is drafted by a qualified family law expert, both parties receive independent legal advice, there is full disclosure of assets, and the agreement is signed well before the wedding.
