Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements

While discussing finances with your partner can be concerning, it is vital that you protect your assets in the event of a divorce or separation. This can be done by entering into a pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreement. Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements are especially important if either party has significantly greater resources than the other or receives  a large inheritance/lifetime gift during the marriage.

If you are in or are planning on registering in a civil partnership, you can sign a pre-registration or post-registration agreement, which gives you the same essential rights as a pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreement.

At Owen White Catlin, we have experience dealing with all manner of pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements. We can tailor any legal documentation to your circumstances, ensuring your assets are secure as you embark on the next exciting stage in your life.

Our approach to financial issues in relationships is practical and prudent. We appreciate the tensions that negotiating pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements can potentially cause and will provide an empathetic solution that will remove the stress from this aspect of your life and ensure your financial security is sound.

We are members of Resolution, and as part of our commitment to helping clients maintain their relationships, we encourage less confrontational routes to resolution than the court can provide.

Alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation, will be considered and offers a quicker, more cost-effective and constructive way of agreeing arrangements for the future, which can be particularly helpful where children are involved.   We offer mediation and our mediators are registered with both Resolution and the Family Mediation Council.

We pride ourselves on being transparent and clear on our fees which means you’ll know exactly what your costs will be.
