What is the meaning of a prenuptial agreement?
Prenuptial agreements, also known as “prenups”, are contracts made between two people before marriage, detailing how their assets will be divided in the event that they divorce or separate.
As of now, prenup agreements are not legally binding, but when entered voluntarily by both parties, prenups can add weight to any argument in court, acting as a persuasive legal argument that often ends in favourable outcomes.

Is it possible to get a postnuptial agreement?
Yes, couples can enter a postnuptial agreement in the UK. This is the same as a prenup, only the nuptial agreement is agreed after the formal marriage of a couple.
Similarly to prenups, Beecham Peacock’s solicitors are fully qualified to process and advise your postnuptial agreements.

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreement FAQs
Although not legally binding, prenups work in the UK as a credible reference when building a case in court – adding weight to arguments and making them more persuasive.
The cost of prenups varies depending on the complexity of the case, time spent with a solicitor and the individual solicitor's fees. Beecham Peacock’s prenups are priced very competitively, with strong value for money. Contact our team to find out more.
You cannot directly change a prenup after marriage; however, you can enter a new postnuptial agreement that corrects the elements of your prenup you wanted to change.
