Nuptial agreement solicitors
Rushton Family Law advises couples on pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, for clients across England and Wales, in person or remotely.
A nuptial agreement sets out how your finances would be dealt with if the marriage or civil partnership ended. For many couples, it’s simply a sensible step. It’s particularly worth considering if one of you is bringing a business, family wealth, an expected inheritance or property into the marriage, or if either of you has been married before and has children to provide for. Deciding these questions while you are on good terms is usually far easier than leaving them to be argued over later.
Pre-nuptial agreements
A prenup is made before a marriage or civil partnership. We advise on what it should cover, prepare the agreement, and handle disclosure and negotiation with your partner’s solicitor, leaving enough time before the wedding so that neither of you is under pressure to sign.
Post-nuptial agreements
A postnup is made after a marriage or civil partnership, whether because there wasn’t time for a prenup, circumstances have changed, or you want to update an existing agreement. We advise on what it should cover and prepare it in the same way.
How we work
An experienced family solicitor will run your matter from the first meeting onwards, and you will deal with them directly rather than being passed between members of a team.
Part of their job is to help you decide where your time and money are best spent. In most divorces there are points worth pressing and points that make little difference to the end result, and we will be straightforward with you about which is which.
A lot of matters are resolved through negotiation or mediation, and where that is realistic we will recommend it. Where it is not, because the other side will not engage, or disclosure is incomplete, or the issues are genuinely contested, we will advise you on taking the matter to court and act for you there.
Rushton Family Law is the sister brand of Vardags. If your case involves complex finances or international issues, we will introduce you to the Vardags team.
