Please note: It should be remembered that the premarital agreement regulates only property relations that arise between spouses. A premarital agreement can be concluded both before marriage and after. A premarital agreement certified before marriage takes effect on the day of marriage.
A prenuptial (premarital) agreement is a relatively new concept for Ukrainians that has come to the country several decades ago. Today, married people or spouses can draw up an agreement that sets forth the rights and obligations of husband and wife both in a family and after a divorce.
To draw up a marriage contract, you have to turn to a notary. A professional will certify the fact of registration of an agreement between the spouses or people planning to get married. The contract regulates pecuniary rights and obligations, as well as the spouses’ obligations as parents. Such issues as housekeeping, joint pastime, principles of raising children cannot be discussed in a prenuptial agreement.
Due to conclusion of a premarital agreement we can avoid impulsive actions in the emotion of the moment of a divorce. Both parties stipulate the rights and obligations by mutual agreement. This helps to avoid contingent issues, both throughout the married life and in the event of a divorce.
The contract provides for 2 parties’ rights protection, therefore notarial marriage contract may include:
Both people planning to marry and official spouses can turn to a notary for registration of a premarital agreement. For the former, the document comes to force on the day of the wedding. For the latter - from the moment of concluding a marriage contract with a notary.
By default, a document is no longer valid after a divorce. But the contract can specify a different period that exceeds the period of marital cohabitation.
It is also worth recalling that in the absence of an agreement during a divorce, all the property acquired in a marriage is divided in two. So, if there are burning issues related to the availability of real estate before the marriage, we recommend that they be stipulated in a prenuptial agreement. It happens that an apartment had been bought before the marriage, then sold, and the amount was invested in a common house. In the event of a divorce, the property will be divided in two, despite who and how much has invested in its acquisition.
A premarital agreement does not mean a discord within a family, but a competent decision of two people entering into a marriage. All the items are carefully discussed in order to come to an agreement with all of them. A notary attests signing of a contract thus validating it.
