In this episode of Divorce Talks with Irwin Mitchell, we’re diving into prenuptial agreements — and why things can quickly get complicated when your relationship crosses borders. A prenup isn’t just a simple contract; in an international context, it can carry very different meanings, levels of legal weight, and unexpected consequences if you ever separate. We unpack what international couples really need to know, the most common misunderstandings, and how to avoid the cross-border pitfalls that can catch people by surprise. 🌐
Joining us is Charlotte Clewes, Legal Director in the Family Team at Irwin Mitchell, who shares practical insight into navigating prenups where more than one country’s law may come into play.
