Postnuptial Agreements in London

Postnuptial agreements are legal contracts that couples can create after they are married. These agreements outline how assets and property will be divided in the event of a divorce or separation.

While prenuptial agreements are commonly discussed before a couple gets married, postnuptial agreements allow couples to make changes to their financial arrangements after the wedding. This can be especially useful for couples who have experienced significant life changes, such as a change in income or the birth of a child.

At Goodwins, we can help with your after-marriage agreements. Our team of experienced family law solicitors can help you understand the benefits of a postnuptial agreement and guide you through the process of creating one. We will work with you to ensure that your agreement is fair and reasonable, and that it protects your rights and interests.

Excellent service provided by Goodwins with a strong, professional team. I would 100% recommend Helen Ioannou who helped me immensely through an extremely difficult divorce. A strong, professional solicitor, an advocate for what is right and empathetic to my case…

Helen from Goodwins Family Law Solicitors was amazing. Divorces are hard and she really helped make the process as stress-free as possible. She was so friendly and patient. I really couldn’t have asked for a better solicitor.
