Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements: Protecting Your Financial Interests
Entering into a marriage without a clear understanding of how your finances will be handled can create future complications. Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are crucial tools for protecting your assets and ensuring that both parties are clear about their financial rights in the event of a divorce or separation.
A prenuptial agreement is drafted before marriage and sets clear terms for asset division, while a postnuptial agreement can be created after marriage to address changes in circumstances or assets.
- Clear asset protection for both parties in the event of divorce.
- Minimisation of potential conflict in asset division by outlining clear terms.
- Specific provisions for businesses, inheritance, and pre-marital assets.
- Legal assurance that the agreement is enforceable in UK courts.
Our team ensures that these agreements are comprehensive, enforceable, and cater to the specific financial landscape of both parties. Whether you’re protecting a family business or ensuring fairness in property division, we handle each case with care and attention to detail.

Divorce can be an emotionally and financially challenging process, especially when it involves high-net-worth assets or contentious custody arrangements. Our team provides clear guidance and strong representation during divorce proceedings to ensure that your rights are protected.

Child Custody and Parenting Agreements: Securing the Best Interests of Your Children
When children are involved, custody arrangements are one of the most critical elements of a divorce. It’s not just about who gets the kids – it’s about what’s in their best interest. Our approach focuses on creating sustainable and fair custody arrangements that prioritise the children’s welfare, while also ensuring your rights as a parent are protected.
We work closely with clients to develop parenting agreements that are not only fair but also clear and practical for the future.

Annulments: Validating Your Rights When a Marriage Was Never Right
Annulment is a legal process that declares a marriage void, rather than ending it through divorce. This may be the right choice if your marriage was entered into under duress, fraud, or for reasons such as non-consummation. Annulments can be complicated, and our team is here to guide you through every step.
If you’ve discovered that your marriage was invalid, you need legal representation that understands the intricacies of annulment proceedings.
- Assessment of legal grounds for annulment, such as fraud or coercion.

FAQs: Healthcare Legal Services You Can Rely On
A prenuptial agreement is signed before marriage and sets out how assets and finances will be divided in the event of divorce. A postnuptial agreement is similar but is signed after marriage and is typically used to formalise financial arrangements during the marriage.
To protect your business during a divorce, we advise on setting up a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement that clearly outlines how the business will be handled in the event of a divorce. We also assess whether the business is considered marital property and guide you on safeguarding its value.
The duration of divorce proceedings can vary depending on the complexity of the case. An uncontested divorce may take about 4 to 6 months, while contested divorces with disputes over assets or child custody can take longer, sometimes up to a year or more.
Yes, you can change a prenuptial agreement after marriage by creating a postnuptial agreement. This agreement can modify terms based on changed circumstances or new financial information.
The main grounds for annulment include non-consummation of the marriage, lack of consent (due to duress or fraud), or if one party was underage. In these cases, the marriage can be declared void, meaning it was never legally valid.
