International forum on nuptial agreements

Nuptial agreements were on the agenda in a webinar and Q&A session which took place last week, chaired by Anthony Gold partner and head of family law Kim Beatson.

Featuring speakers Francesca King from Italy, Katja Ziehe from Switzerland, Suzan Aiken from California and Cath Karlin from Scotland, the session covered a wide range of issues relating to nuptial agreements. These included the drafting process and provisions for spousal and child maintenance, how a nuptial agreement can be varied, and whether they remain binding upon a couple’s divorce.
