The official marriage contract is not at all an element of "bourgeois" Western life, which initially casts doubt on the very foundations of the concept of "marriage". Rather, it is the result of market relations, which forces modern men and women to adapt to the peculiarities of life.
Instructions
Step 1
It should be noted that an official marriage contract, certified by a notary, has the right to regulate only the property relations of both parties who resorted to its conclusion, in no way touching or infringing on their personal non-property rights, rights in relation to children or each other. So, not a single contract in the world can make a husband and wife fall in love with each other, remain faithful or lead an absolutely healthy lifestyle. Often, this kind of paper sets only the proportions in which the property will be divided in the event of an unsuccessful end of the marriage, mutual personal obligations in relation to various types of payments, the duration of various agreements.
Step 2
When filling out a prenuptial agreement, avoid abbreviations and incomplete presentation of information in order to comply with the formal side of the act. So, a woman must indicate not only the full date of birth, place, citizenship, and if there is a double - both, but also the maiden name, as well as all the details of the documents indicating its change (certificates of marriage, divorce, etc.) whether they have dependent relatives: children, elderly parents, etc., list significant financial obligations (for example, previously received and unsecured mortgage loans)
Step 3
Decide on the number of sections of your contract. They will directly depend on the aspects that you plan to regulate.
Step 4
Spouses have every right to sign their documents both immediately after entering into an official marriage, and after many years of living together. By such a mutual agreement, they can discuss the specifics of the budget, determine how their expenses will be distributed over time or according to the degree of participation in common purchases. Husbands and wives can agree on the possibility of supporting each other, the degree of equity participation in the property purchased, inherited or donated within the framework of the union, etc.
Step 5
By agreement, the spouses have the full right to regulate the regime and procedure for the use of property in the event of a future divorce, to determine which part of it will go to meet the current needs of their children. In this case, the document will be valid both in relation to already purchased and in relation to real estate, the acquisition of which is still planned.
Step 6
It should be added that none of the clauses of the marriage agreement should reduce a person's legal capacity, affect the interests of children, or cast doubt on the economic benefits of the agreement for one of the parties. No contract can negate the ability of an incapacitated spouse to demand maintenance from his other half, or prohibit a husband or wife from applying to the official authorities for the protection of their interests or with demands to pay alimony.
Step 7
Set the document expiration date. The life of the contract is determined by the time frames specified in it (for example, it can continue after the termination of the relationship) and ends only with its official termination by mutual consent or the death of the legal spouse.
