Prenuptial agreements

Pre nuptial agreements are becoming more popular and are great way to protect your personal and business assets.  Sadly a lot of marriages do end in divorce and it is common sense to protect your assets with a pre-nuptial agreement.  Having a pre nuptial agreement also helps you avoid costly divorce proceedings.

A pre-nuptial agreement will benefit most people however you should seriously consider a pre-nup if you own a business, have substantial assets or if you are marrying for the second time and want to protect your child’s inheritance.

Cohabitation Agreements

If you are going to be living with a partner and want to make sure that they will not have a claim in your house then you can have a co-habitation agreement drawn up to protect yourself. 

Speak to us at Family Solicitor Northampton to see if this is required.

Separation agreements

If you have separated from your partner then you can either get divorced and sort out the finances or you can have a separation agreement drawn up.  A separation agreement is a legally binding agreement however there is no guarantee that the court will take this agreement into account if you get divorced at a later date.

If you have separated then speak with us at Family Solicitor Northampton to find out the best option for you.
