A prenuptial agreement (or “prenup”) is a legal contract made between two people before marriage. It sets out how assets, property, debts, and responsibilities will be handled if the marriage ends in divorce or if one spouse passes away.

In Singapore, prenuptial agreements are becoming more common as couples look to protect premarital assets, family inheritances, or businesses. While a prenup is not automatically binding, the courts may give significant weight to it if it is properly drafted, fair, and consistent with the Women’s Charter.

At PKWA Law, our family lawyers have extensive experience advising couples on prenuptial agreements. We provide clear, practical advice and draft agreements at fixed, transparent fees, so you can move forward with certainty and peace of mind.

Why Consider a Prenuptial Agreement?

A prenup can help couples avoid future disputes and protect their interests. Common reasons include:

• Certainty & Clarity: Outlines financial arrangements and prevents uncertainty in the event of divorce.
• Protection of Premarital Assets: Ensures assets acquired before marriage remain with the original owner.
• Safeguarding Family Inheritance: Keeps inherited property or wealth within the family line.
• Shielding Against Debts: Protects one spouse from the other’s personal or business debts.
• Preserving a Family Business: Helps prevent disruption to family-owned businesses if the marriage ends.

What Can a Prenuptial Agreement Cover?

Typical clauses in a prenup include:

• Division of Property – How assets will be divided if the marriage breaks down.
• Maintenance – Spousal and child maintenance responsibilities.
• Debts – Allocation of responsibility for personal or joint debts.
• Child Arrangements – Custody, care, and access terms (though the court will always prioritise the child’s welfare).
• Inheritance & Gifts – How inherited wealth or gifts will be treated.

Are Prenuptial Agreements Binding in Singapore?

Prenuptial agreements are not automatically binding in Singapore. The courts will carefully review the terms to ensure they are fair and consistent with the Women’s Charter.

The court may set aside or give less weight to a prenup if:

• There was failure to disclose assets.
• There is evidence of fraud, duress, or unfairness.
• One party did not have independent legal advice when signing.

That said, a well-drafted prenup can carry significant persuasive value and may influence the outcome of divorce proceedings. This is why it is important to seek advice from an experienced family lawyer.
