Beyond Borders: International Family Law

International Prenups (Binding Financial Agreements)


Listen Later

In this episode of Beyond Borders, we explore the crucial role of prenuptial agreements and how they operate on a global stage.  Our family law experts unpack what a prenuptial or binding financial agreement really is and how it can eliminate the need for court intervention by clearly defining who retains which assets if a relationship ends.

We discuss why international couples must ensure their prenups are carefully drafted to withstand the challenges of differing legal systems, and reveal common pitfalls that can render an agreement unenforceable across jurisdictions.

The episode also delves into:

  • When and why couples with cross-border assets or wealth disparity should consider a prenup.
  • How postnuptial agreements can safeguard both partners when circumstances change after marriage.
  • Real-life case studies showing how courts have upheld, or overturned, prenups around the world.

Host and family lawyer Antonia Marron is joined by leading international family law experts and Fellows of the International Academy of Family Lawyers (IAFL) Susan Warda of Mills Oakley Sydney, Clare Wiseman of Irwin Mitchell in the UK and Steven Mindel of FMBK Law in the US.
