Best Discrimination Solicitors in Enfield

Manveen Padda, a family solicitor at Edwards Duthie, on why these agreements could soon become legally binding Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are not yet legally binding in the UK but since the ground breaking case of Radmacher in 2010 the courts are taking these into account as a factor when considering division of the matrimonial assets. Historically, the decision has depended on the judge but now the courts are attempting to give the power back to the parties. Cases show how the courts are struggling to find a balance between granting the parties autonomy over their financial futures and using the court’s discretion to achieve fairness. The court will now uphold an agreement if it is properly drafted, both parties have received or had the opportunity to receive independent legal advice, given full and frank financial disclosure to each other, entered the agreement at least 21 days before the marriage, taken into account significant changes in the future and the agreement is fair and realistic.
