Matrimonial property law

Most people do not consider the financial consequences of marriage, with partners often choosing to marry in community of property rather than being more conscious and signing a prenuptial agreement. In many cases, spouses also do not realize what effects their actions during their marriage will have with respect to property law, and only become aware of these effects when the marriage has come to an end.

In addition to providing advice and support in the event of divorce, BANNING’s family lawyers also assist prospective spouses in making conscious decisions, recommending that they sign a prenuptial agreement or counselling them in the event of any radical changes in their personal situation. This means that BANNING’s family lawyers can assist partners from the time they are preparing their wedding up to and including the dissolution of the marriage as a result of divorce or death.
