Protect Your Finances with A Pre-Nuptial or Post-Nuptial Agreement!

Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements can be quite daunting and unromantic for soon to be married couples and newly married couples. However, it is important for both parties to carely consider what options are available to protect their financial assets before embarking on marriage.

One of the most common issues in divorce proceedings is how assets will be split between the ex-spouses, this is where pre- and post-nuptial agreements can make the situation easier.

What Are Pre- and Post-Nuptial Agreements?

A pre-nuptial agreement is an agreement entered into before marriage by both partners. The agreement provides a plan for what the couple will do with their finances and assets in the event that their marriage breaks down.

A post-nuptial agreement is a similar agreement entered into after the marriage has taken place.

What can Pre- and Post-Nuptial Agreements cover?

These agreements can cover a wide range of assets, commonly they set out what should happen to your property, savings, pension, family heirlooms, debts and any assets bought during the marriage.

Are pre-nuptial or post- nuptial agreements legally binding?

In England and Wales, pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements are not legally binding, however, the Court has a duty to take them into account when deciding how assets should be divided in the divorce. Often a pre/post-nuptial agreement will be persuasive to the Court.

At the divorce stage, the Court will consider whether the agreement made between the parties is fair for them and their children. Therefore, it is very important that before entering into such an agreement both parties obtain independent legal advice from separate solicitors. This is to help ensure that both parties understand the implications of the agreement.

When deciding whether to uphold a pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreement the Court will need to be satisfied that neither party was under duress or undue influence. Due to this, it is ideal to consult a solicitor for legal advice at least three months before your wedding.

Why get a pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreement?

It is a common misconception that pre- and post-nuptial agreements are only for celebrities or high-net worth individuals. The reality is that such agreements can benefit a wide range of couples- especially young professional couples without children who have accumulated savings from their earnings or parents. Such agreements are especially ideal for people who wish to protect inherited family heirlooms that have been passed down over many generations.

Pre- and post-nuptial agreements may also be ideal for couples who have been married before and wish to ring fence their assets for their children.

When Is It Reasonable To Remove A Child Resident In The U.K For Seven Years Or More?

A new Immigration rule was introduced in 2012 which stated that if a foreign child had resided in the UK for at least 7 years & it was not reasonable to expect the child to relocate, they would be permitted to stay in the UK. It implied that the child’s parents would also be allowed to stay to look after the child.

The rules were similar if the child was British and it was not reasonable to expect the child to relocate with their foreign national parent.

Section 117B(6) of the Immigration Act 2014 reinforced this rule and stated that a person with a genuine and subsisting parental relationship with a child who had lived in the UK for 7 years or more or is British will be permitted to remain in the UK if it would unreasonable to expect the child to relocate.

In the recent case of MA (Pakistan) the Immigration Judge was of the view that in considering such cases significant weight should be given to the fact that a child has resided in the UK for 7 years and that there would have to be very good reasons for departing from this viewpoint and leave not to be granted.

At paragraph 46 of the judgment the Judge has stated the following:

…...the fact that a child has been here for seven years must be given significant weight when carrying out the proportionality exercise.……..After such a period of time the child will have put down roots & developed social, cultural & educational links in the UK such that it is likely to be highly disruptive if the child is required to leave the UK.

He goes on to say that “as a starting point that leave should be granted unless there are powerful reasons to the contrary” if the child has resided in the UK for seven years or more.

This case provides a good base for a more child centred approach to Immigration cases affecting children.

New Immigration Rules For People Residing In UK

Every year on the 5th of April the changes to the Immigration Rule usually come into effect. Keeping a track of all these changes can be a tough task for many. One of the major changes to the Immigration rules this year is probably in the route to settlement. From 6 April 2016, those applying for settlement as being under the Tier 2 category under the point based system and who entered Tier 2 under the rules in force from 6 April 2011 must be earning at least £35,000 per annum.  The changes will be introduced for indefinite leave to remain applications under the Tier 2 (General) visa category, and the Tier 2 (Minister of Religion) and Tier 2 (Sportsperson) visa categories.

These new rules on Tier 2 settlement will apply to anyone who entered or switched into Tier 2 category  of the Points-Based System under the rules in force from 6 April 2011 and those who do not apply for or obtain settlement will have to leave the UK on expiry of their leave and wait 12 months before they can make a new application to return under the Tier 2 category under the U.K immigration law. This £35,000 threshold will be held at that level until April 2018. But for those who will be eligible to apply for settlement from April 2018 should be aware that the threshold will be reviewed to take account of wage inflation.

Tier 2 General migrants who are working in shortage occupations and also those Tier 2 General migrants in designated ‘PhD level’ occupations will be exempt from the settlement pay threshold.  There was initially a lot of talk about the nurses being adversely affected by this change in the rules, however, as the occupation of nurses have been reinstated  on the shortage occupation list they do not have anything to worry about.

Overall, after the completion of 5 years in the country if the applicants under the Tier 2 category who are not on the shortage of occupation list and are unable to show this high income threshold then they will have no option but to return to their home country.
