Further to the Radmacher case (see article on pre-Nuptial agreements in determining divorce settlement in Matrimonial page), the Law Commission published a consultation paper in January 2011 asking the general public for their views on pre-nuptial agreements. The Commission will make its recommendations to Parliament.

This is an important exercise and can raise strongly held views. This is your opportunity to give your views on this important matter and the consultation document is available at http://www.lawcom.gov.uk/docs/cp198.pdf.

The legal standing of pre-nuptial agreements has been strengthened by the Radmacher case. If you need any advice or assistance concerning pre-nuptial agreements please contact one of our specialist family lawyers.
