Overview

Planning for security and fairness within your marriage or partnership

What are postnuptial agreements?

These are legally binding documents drawn up after marriage, or during your civil partnership, which set out how assets will be divided if you get divorced or dissolve your partnership.

How can they help you?

We understand that life circumstances change, and a well-drafted postnuptial agreement can offer peace of mind, particularly in the event of a future separation or divorce all whilst prioritising children’s needs.

Our approach is grounded in understanding both your financial and personal priorities, ensuring that the agreement supports long-term fairness and stability.

Expert advice to make the agreement valid

For an agreement to be upheld (potentially in court), it must be fair, transparent and properly prepared. We ensure both parties receive clear advice and full disclosure is made.

Are postnuptial agreements legally enforceable?

Yes. Tees’ family law experts can help you create a legally valid postnuptial agreement that meets the Court’s requirements. It must be fair, considering the needs of both partners and any children. An unfair agreement, leaving one partner in financial need, is unlikely to be upheld. Given the complexity of these agreements, expert legal advice ensures the document is fair and legally sound for both parties.

Tees have an excellent reputation locally for providing commercially minded and sensible advice.
