Our postnuptial agreement service
Drafting postnuptial agreements
A postnuptial agreement is a legally binding document that outlines how assets, income, and financial responsibilities will be handled if the marriage ends. It can cover property ownership, savings, investments, and financial support arrangements, helping avoid future uncertainty.
A postnup provides couples with the opportunity to establish which premarital assets they would not like to be included as part of any potential divorce settlement later. It can include a declaration of trust to establish the potential division of property.
Our experienced family law solicitors will work with you to draft a comprehensive and fair agreement, ensuring that it reflects your needs while remaining legally enforceable. We take the time to understand your circumstances and priorities, offering tailored legal and financial advice to protect your interests.
Updating postnuptial agreements
Financial and personal circumstances change over time, and it’s important that your postnuptial agreement remains up-to-date and relevant. Significant life events such as the birth of a child, a career change, or acquiring new assets may require adjustments to your agreement.
At Cullimore Dutton, we can review and update your postnuptial agreement to reflect your current situation. We’ll ensure that any amendments are legally sound and protect your financial position, providing transparency and security for the future.
Postnuptial agreements during divorce
If you are facing divorce and already have a postnuptial agreement in place, we can assess its validity and help you understand how it will impact financial settlements. A well-drafted agreement can streamline divorce proceedings, reducing the risk of disputes and legal costs.
Should your postnuptial agreement be contested, our team will provide strong legal representation to ensure that it is upheld wherever possible. We will guide you through the legal complexities, offering clear advice and strategic support at every stage.

Frequently asked questions about postnuptial agreements
What is a postnuptial agreement?

Who should get a postnuptial agreement?
A postnuptial agreement can benefit any married couple looking to safeguard their financial interests. It is particularly useful if circumstances have significantly changed, such as an inheritance, business growth, or a change in financial contributions. It can also provide peace of mind for those who did not have a prenuptial agreement in place.
Are postnuptial agreements legally binding?
While postnuptial agreements are not automatically legally binding, they are given significant weight by the courts if they meet certain criteria. The agreement must be fair, entered into willingly by both parties and include full financial disclosure. Seeking expert legal advice ensures that the document is robust and legally sound.
How can I get a postnuptial agreement?
To create a postnuptial agreement, both parties should seek independent legal advice to ensure the terms are fair and properly drafted. A solicitor will guide you through the process, helping to outline your assets, financial arrangements, and any specific provisions you wish to include, ensuring the agreement reflects your intentions clearly.
What can I put in a postnuptial agreement?
A postnuptial agreement can cover a range of financial matters, including how property, savings, pensions, and business interests would be divided in the event of a separation. It can also address spousal maintenance, debt responsibilities, and provisions for children, offering security and reducing the risk of future disputes.
