A phrase we associate with Hollywood more than Ireland this is an agreement that is believed will be of persuasive weight if brought before a Family Law judge after a marital split. Certainly more persuasive than none at all. The legality of the agreement has no actual basis in Irish Law but the current thinking leans towards requiring a judge to have regard to a pre-nup. Having said that a judge is not obliged to disregard such agreements as things stand so even in the absence of new law they still could be a very important agreement to have in place. This is particularly so in second marriages or partnerships where there may be more complicated relationships with step children and wider family groups. With over 30 years of experience in Family Law we have the expertise to help foresee the possible outcomes of a separation that might never happen, and help you find a fair way to deal with them.
