A pre-nuptial agreement (more commonly called a “prenup”) is a legal document sometimes made by couples before they get married or enter a civil partnership. It sets out what should happen to their finances, property, and assets if the worst happens and their relationship ends in divorce or dissolution.
Often used where one person has more wealth or wants to protect something specific – like an inheritance, family business or assets for children from a previous relationship – a prenup can bring clarity and peace of mind from the outset. It’s not about expecting a split, but about being open and fair about what would happen if things did change.
While they’re not legally binding in England and Wales, courts can and often do take them into account – especially if the agreement was made properly, with legal advice, and well before the wedding.
