What is the legal status of prenups in UK?

Prenups in the UK are not automatically legally binding, but they can be given significant weight by a court if certain conditions are met when the Prenuptial Agreement is created. For a prenup to be considered enforceable by UK courts, the following conditions should be met:

There should be full financial disclosure by both parties at the time of entering the prenup.

The terms should be fair and reasonable, and each party should obtain independent legal advice before signing the prenup.

The agreement must be entered into voluntarily and free of any duress, coercion, or pressure.

It is a good idea that the prenup is signed well in advance of the wedding or civil partnership ceremony.

A prenup that is entered into with all the above conditions being met, is likely to significantly influence a court decision in the event of a relationship breakdown.
