Pre-Nuptial Agreements
- Historically, Pre-Nuptial agreements were not often looked at by courts, which meant a significant amount of autonomy in marriages and civil partnerships was lost. In recent years, however, courts have started to consider pre-nuptial agreements more and more, and they are a viable and useful way of protecting your and your partner’s interests in and after marriage.

- It has become more and more common in recent years for cohabitation to happen before, and outside of, civil partnerships and marriage
- It is extremely important, however, that you consider the legal aspects of this arrangement, as you are not protected by marriage or civil partnership laws, no matter how long you have been cohabiting.
