FAQs
Can a financial agreement be challenged in court?
Yes, a financial agreement can be challenged, especially if there was a lack of transparency, undue influence, or significant changes in circumstances. We help ensure your agreement is robust to minimise this risk.
When should we create a prenuptial agreement?
Ideally, a prenuptial agreement should be drafted well before the wedding to allow time for careful consideration and independent legal advice for both parties.
Can financial agreements include arrangements about children?
Financial and prenuptial agreements generally cannot dictate child custody or support matters, as courts prioritise the child’s best interests independently.
What is the difference between a prenuptial and postnuptial agreement?
A prenuptial agreement is made before marriage, while a postnuptial agreement is created after the marriage has begun, but both serve similar purposes in protecting assets and setting financial terms.
What if one party refuses to sign the agreement?
Both parties must agree and sign for the agreement to be effective. We can assist in negotiations or explore alternative solutions if one party is hesitant.
Can these agreements protect business assets?
Yes, financial and prenuptial agreements can include provisions to protect business interests and investments.
How much do financial and prenuptial agreements cost?
Costs vary based on complexity. We advise best on a case to case basis.
How do these agreements help in case of divorce or separation?
They provide clear terms on asset division and financial responsibilities, reducing conflict and simplifying the legal process.
