Prenuptial Agreement in Ireland

A prenuptial agreement in Ireland is a document which is signed by a couple, prior to getting married. The legal document can contain a large number of provisions related to financial and property aspects, but also aspects related to various payments and child support, in the case in which the couple will get a divorce at some point in time. The prenuptial agreement is a very useful tool during the divorce procedures, as the parties have already agreed on the manner in which their common assets will be shared in this situation.
