In the aftermath of leading cases such as White and Miller & McFarlane, many high net worth spouses are keen to minimise the share to which their ex-spouse might be entitled in the event of divorce, and are therefore increasingly using pre-marital agreements.

Pre-Marital Agreements provides the practitioner with comprehensive guidance on the drafting of such agreements, when consulted before marriage; and upon their effectiveness, and the relevant case-law, when they are relied upon in subsequent ancillary relief proceedings.
