In the preface, Marcus wrote:

I am delighted to be invited back as contributing editor to this seventh edition of ICLG – Family Law. In the last edition, I highlighted the need to promote the use of pre- and postnuptial agreements.

This year, continuing that theme, my expert analysis chapter, Harnessing the Lessons of the Latest Pre- and Postnuptial Agreement Judgments in England and Wales: Achieving ‘As Much Certainty As Possible’, highlights three recent cases that, if carefully analysed and applied, should assist to ‘reduce the role of lawyers on the breakdown of marriage’.

The financially stronger husband in MN v AN, who had complained when the agreement was being negotiated that his wife’s proposals were a ‘gold-digger’s charter’, in the end saved himself substantially more gold than he would otherwise have had to pay out had he not entered into the agreement. It was worth every penny.
