Common scenarios for postnuptial agreements
There are several situations where a postnuptial agreement may be particularly beneficial. These include cases where one spouse receives a significant inheritance, when one partner starts or acquires a business, or when couples wish to protect children from previous relationships.
Such agreements can also be helpful when resolving financial disagreements that have arisen during the marriage or simply to establish clear expectations and reduce future uncertainty. Tailoring the agreement to your unique situation ensures it reflects your shared goals and provides long-term peace of mind.
What makes a good postnuptial agreement?
An effective postnuptial agreement should be personalised, transparent, and drafted with the benefit of independent legal advice for both parties. It must include a comprehensive list of all assets and liabilities, realistic provisions for the financial needs of both individuals (and any dependents), and be signed voluntarily, without pressure. Regular reviews of the agreement, especially after major life events, are also advisable to ensure it remains relevant and enforceable.

Frequently asked questions – Postnuptial Agreements
Are postnuptial agreements legally binding in the UK?
While postnuptial agreements are not automatically legally binding under UK law, courts are increasingly taking them into account when they are properly drafted, signed voluntarily, and each party has received independent legal advice. If the agreement is fair and meets the needs of both spouses and any children, it is likely to carry significant weight in court.
Can a postnuptial agreement override previous financial arrangements?
Yes, a postnuptial agreement can supersede earlier financial understandings, including prenuptial agreements, provided that both parties agree to the new terms and the agreement is created in accordance with legal requirements. It is often used to reflect changes in circumstances such as the birth of children or changes in financial position.
How soon after marriage can we enter into a postnuptial agreement?
You can enter into a postnuptial agreement at any time after getting married. There is no minimum time requirement, and some couples choose to create an agreement shortly after marriage, while others may wait until experiencing major life changes.
What happens if one party challenges the postnuptial agreement during divorce?
If challenged in court, the judge will review the agreement to determine whether it was entered into freely and with full disclosure of assets. Agreements seen as fair and reasonable, and where both parties had independent legal advice, are more likely to be upheld.
Does the agreement need to cover all our assets?
It is advisable for a postnuptial agreement to comprehensively cover all current and anticipated assets, including property, pensions, savings, inheritances, and business interests. This clarity reduces the potential for disputes in the event of separation or divorce.
