Prenuptial agreements are agreements entered into freely by individuals planning to marry.
This agreement is to provide for what would happen in the event of the marriage breaking down and in particular, what should happen to assets owned by the parties prior to marriage, and the assets accrued during the marriage.
Previously, the courts have not had any regard for such agreements and accordingly, they were not enforceable.
However, it is now accepted that in certain circumstances, prenuptial agreements will be upheld unless there is good reason otherwise.
