A prenuptial agreement — reliable protection of your property rights in marriage
Tetiana Kondratenko, Attorney

How often have you heard that "a prenuptial agreement is about distrust"? In reality, it is nothing of the sort. It is a sensible approach to your property relations and a way to avoid future misunderstandings.
What a prenuptial agreement can govern (Article 93 of the Family Code of Ukraine)
- Property relations between the spouses.
- Property rights and obligations between the spouses.
- Property rights and obligations of the spouses as parents.
Important: a prenuptial agreement does not regulate personal non-property relations (such as whose turn it is to do the dishes).
Who can enter into a prenuptial agreement?
- Spouses.
- Persons who have merely filed an application to register a marriage.
Key requirement: notarisation. Without it the agreement is void.
If you need advice or assistance in concluding a prenuptial agreement, get in touch. Your rights are our priority.
