Family solicitor, Rosa Alexander, has been featured in Edward Fennell's weekly Legal Diary commenting on the impact of undue pressure on post-nuptials agreements.
Rosa writes: "It is often misunderstood that nuptial agreements, which can be made pre and post marriage, are watertight between spouses. However, the actions of the parties prior to signing can undermine their validity upon divorce.
It is well established from case law that nuptial agreements must be entered into freely, without undue influence or pressure for them to carry full weight. If challenged, the court will undertake a fact specific analysis of the circumstances leading up to the document being signed. Factors such as age, maturity and prior relationship experience will be considered."
