You are a couple and would like to conclude a marriage contract before or after marriage. Isn't it unromantic to think of the time of a possible separation?
We don't think so, because when you conclude a marriage contract, you as a couple determine what the equitable consequences of raising children and managing the household are. After all, details of a new employment relationship are not left to the law, but individual regulations are made in a contract. We have also found that the necessary path often strengthens a relationship, even if you decide not to conclude a marriage contract with your partner after consultation.
In our experience, the legal regulations are particularly inadequate when:
- one of you is an entrepreneur,
- there is a high income or age gap between you,
- one of you is very wealthy.
Insofar as the caring parent is an academic or would otherwise have good career opportunities, current case law means that the childcare parent, i.e. usually the mothers, is no longer fully compensated for the financial disadvantage caused by childcare. If you find this result unfair, the marriage contract can, for example, regulate an extension of the legal maintenance for the childcare parent.
At our law firm in Munich, we will discuss your living conditions with you and give you an overview of the legal consequences of a separation. We will then show you which settlement options are suitable for you in a marriage contract. After this step, we will give you the opportunity to discuss the results of our conversation alone as a couple.
If necessary, the results you have found will then be discussed again as an overall concept in a second conversation. As soon as the marriage contract has been drafted, we will once again give you the opportunity to clarify any open questions or problems with understanding the technical legal terms. Once everything has been clarified and the marriage contract meets your wishes, we will accompany you to the notary, where the marriage contract will be recorded.
