In developed Western countries, the conclusion of a marriage contract is not an obstacle for a happy life together. On the contrary, it helps to enjoy a partner, and not thoughts about the material benefits that may go, during a divorce. Such practice is quite successfully applied in our country, allowing pairs gathering to legalize their relations, civilized to distribute rights and obligations in marriage. We are provided with important information about the nuances of this rather scrupulous agreement.
So, let’s begin:
Undoubtedly, it is important to know that the conclusion of a marriage contract can be any time of married life, and not just on the day of registration of marriage. But this is possible only if the desire is mutual and voluntary. Moreover, both must be present personally. This agreement may indicate the rights and obligations that the parties must comply with both in marriage and after its cancellation. Spouses must determine the points on their own that will consist of the body of the paper (t. e. rights and obligations).
After writing, approving all points and signing, the marriage contract must be certified by a notary public, otherwise it will not have legal value. Each of the spouses remains one copy and one remains at the notary. Keep in mind that this procedure is worth the money.
If the contract is issued before the official marriage, then it becomes valid only after receiving the registration certificate. If for some reason the solemn event did not take place, then the document loses its strength.
In the marriage contract after marriage (as, in essence, upon conclusion), it is not allowed to indicate the degree of participation of parents in raising children, but you can indicate how much it is planned to spend on them. All property issues are stipulated. Household responsibilities: who washes the dishes, walks the dog, takes the children from school, how many times a month to meet friends, including issues of fidelity to the partner are not appropriate.
In our country, this document protects property rights, both real and future, as well as financial means. Thus, in the contract you can prescribe how much money is allocated for the maintenance of the family, and with other personal funds, spouses can dispose of their desire. Accordingly, everything purchased for these funds is completely belongs to one of the spouses, who paid for this purchase.
The conclusion of a marriage contract is most often signed in the case when one of the spouses is much more secure than the second. Thus, the richer of partners tries to protect his property in case of cancellation of the Union. But it happens that equally wealthy people conclude an agreement, so as not to bother the divorce of property. They determine in advance who, with what will remain in the event of a divorce.
But there are some deviations. For example, when in case of termination of the UP, one of the parties is left without a livelihood, the second, regardless of previously signed paper, must provide the necessary conditions for survival (as it is spelled out in the legislation of Russia). Otherwise, this issue will be resolved in court.
The conclusion of a marriage contract also does not affect the payment of alimony. Therefore, if the costs of maintaining children after the divorce were not indicated in the contract, they may apply for payments from the parent, according to the law.
It is important to know that the contract can be terminated at any time by mutual agreement. Unilaterally, termination is possible, if there is a reason, but only by court decision.
