Postnuptial
Agreements

A post-nuptial agreement allows couples to record their financial arrangements after marriage. This provides clarity and reassurance if circumstances have changed, such as an inheritance or a new business venture. The agreement can also specify how finances are to be divided, including for children from previous relationships. At Frodshams, we draft clear, practical documents to reduce uncertainty and avoid future disputes. We provide professional advice tailored to your specific situation to help you move forward with confidence.

Frequently asked postnuptial agreements questions

A postnuptial agreement isn't necessary if a prenuptial agreement already covers all current provisions for existing assets.

Postnuptial agreements are often needed when there is a breach of trust during the marriage or if one or both parties acquire new assets they want to address in the event of a divorce. In other situations, many marriages proceed without a postnuptial agreement.

A postnup cannot be implemented if one party disagrees. For a postnuptial contract to be lawful, it must be mutually agreed upon without coercion.

Postnuptial agreements should be drafted by a solicitor to ensure they’re lawful and fair. While you can draft a postnuptial agreement without a solicitor, it carries risks. A postnup may not be upheld in court if it doesn’t meet legal requirements.

Seeking the support of a solicitor also ensures you get expert advice tailored to your circumstances. A solicitor can identify potential issues, highlight concerns, and offer insight into areas that might benefit from further discussion.

When faced with an unexpected proposal from your partner to implement a postnup or change an existing prenup, a solicitor can ensure the postnup offers mutual benefits that are fair to both you and your partner.

A postnuptial agreement can still be created even if there is already a prenuptial agreement in place. In such cases, a postnup is used to review the existing prenup or alter the details to accommodate changes in circumstances, new assets, or amended provisions related to existing assets.
