A post-nuptial agreement works much like a pre-nuptial agreement, but it is created after you are married. It allows couples to set out how their assets, property, and finances will be divided if they later separate or divorce.
Many couples seek legal advice before marriage to prepare a pre-nuptial agreement, while others prefer to make similar arrangements after the wedding.
There are several reasons for choosing a post-nuptial agreement, including:
A change in financial circumstances after marriage (e.g. business sale, inheritance, or new investment).
A major business transaction that completes after the wedding.
A change in family responsibilities or financial priorities.
A desire for clarity and security following a difficult period in the relationship.
In some cases, couples choose to have both pre- and post-nuptial agreements as their circumstances evolve.
Just like a pre-nuptial agreement, both partners must be open and honest about their financial positions when the agreement is made. It must also be fair, voluntary, and properly drafted to be considered valid.
When these conditions are met, a post-nuptial agreement can carry significant weight in Court — even if its terms differ from what a judge might otherwise decide.
