What is a prenuptial (marital) agreement and why is it important?

A prenuptial (marital) agreement is a legal instrument that allows spouses to regulate their property relations in advance, both during the marriage and in the event of its dissolution.

What can the agreement include?

A prenuptial agreement may cover:

• existing property

• property to be acquired in the future

• rules for income distribution

• allocation of obligations

Why is it important?

In practice, property disputes are among the most common issues in divorce proceedings. A properly drafted agreement:

• reduces legal risks

• protects the interests of both parties

• helps avoid lengthy court disputes

When is the agreement concluded?

The agreement may be concluded:

• before marriage

• at any time after marriage

However, it enters into force only upon the official registration of the marriage.
