The aim of a pre-marital agreement is usually to protect the wealth of one or both spouses and, if prepared properly, should dictate the financial settlement on divorce. If you are considering a pre-nup you should seek specialist advice immediately. You can also take steps to protect your position after the wedding, which may involve a post-nup/mid-nup. These are the same as a pre-nup, but made at any time after the marriage ceremony. Nuptial agreements cannot be referred to as binding as a judge will always have discretion to make a different order.
