If you are thinking about getting married and would like to protect your assets, whether this is because you are marrying for the second time or what to ensure your children have something to inherit in your will in the event the marriage should end, seeking some legal advice is crucial. Family law firms can provide premarital advice in protecting your assets such as a prenuptial agreement. A prenuptial agreement is a document in which a couple set out their rights to any property, debts, income and other assets purchased together or acquired individually in the event that the relationship ends. The main purpose of a prenuptial agreement is to limit the potential claims on the assets of one of the parties to the marriage. Although they are not automatically enforceable in English courts prenuptial agreements are taken very seriously by the court as it is evidence of your intentions in the event that the marriage ends.

Other common matters our family law firms advise on include, but are not limited to:

Divorce and annulments
Cohabitation agreements and disputes
Civil partnerships
Child care and support/maintenance
Wills and family trusts
Family businesses

Domestic violence and harassment
