This is the area of entering into marriage in which most people feel a range of uncomfortable – some a little and others extremely. It feels a little distasteful to draw up a contract in case of divorce, when you haven’t even walked down the aisle, but the reality is that it isn’t only divorce for which the contract has implications. It affects your married life as well.

An antenuptial contract is a contract which is concluded between two prospective spouses prior to their intended marriage and which embodies the matrimonial property regime that shall be applicable to the marriage as well as any modifications thereto made by the parties.
