Expert legal help with postnuptial and post civil partnership agreements
During the course of your marriage or civil partnership there may be a change in personal or financial circumstances that needs to be formally acknowledged in a written contract, in case you decide to separate in the future. This Agreement is treated like an insurance policy, there to deal with the consequences in the event separation. The cost of preparing a Postnuptial and Post Civil Partnership Agreement is always the fraction of the cost of a contested divorce or dissolution. It is much easier to decide together what will happen if the relationship ends at a time when you love and trust each other rather than when emotions and feelings may be running high.
How much will it cost?
We offer bespoke Agreements which are drafted to reflect your personal circumstances. It is our experience that fixed price packages for Agreements rarely result in good value for money for our clients. Instead, we offer your first meeting with one of our experienced family law solicitors at a fixed-fee which then allows us to provide you with an accurate idea of costs for further advice or legal work as required.
We offer a free 10 minute telephone call with one of our solicitors to discuss how we can help.

Wise words from Beverley
“If you wish to protect your assets, there is no reason why in today’s society such an Agreement should be considered as anything other than future proofing your financial fallout in the event you separate. You may consider putting a clause in such an Agreement requiring you to review the clauses in the Agreement for example on the birth of a child or every three years”
