A post-nuptial agreement is a written contract agreed between spouses which usually makes provision for matters relating to children, maintenance and division of property in the event of a marriage breakdown.
In terms of its content, it is similar to a pre-nuptial agreement, although a post-nuptial agreement is entered into during a marriage rather than prior to it.
Post nuptial agreements are increasing in popularity and are particularly useful when there is a change in circumstances in the family. They can also be useful if there was not an opportunity or time to draw up a prenuptial agreement before marriage.
For a post nuptial agreement to hold any weight should it be needed in the future, both you and your spouse are both required to have sought independent legal advice from a solicitor.
