If the Court consider a financial settlement within divorce proceedings they will take into consideration a Pre-Nuptial Agreement if it has been entered into appropriately and if on a broad basis it is fair and reasonable.
Therefore, the Agreement itself is not 100% binding on you or the court, but it is something that the court could give great weight to when deciding on an overall settlement.
Having a properly drafted Pre-Nuptial Agreement, entered into willingly by both parties with full financial disclosure attached to the Agreement, setting out a fair and reasonable settlement in the event of divorce, including arrangements for children and the length of the marriage, is likely to save considerable money in legal fees in the event of a divorce at a later date.
