The Matrimonial Agreement is a crucial legal instrument under Irish law used to establish clear financial and property arrangements between spouses or prospective spouses. It is particularly relevant for individuals with significant assets, business interests, or complex financial situations who wish to create certainty about their financial affairs within marriage. While Irish courts maintain discretion in matrimonial proceedings, these agreements serve as important reference points when properly executed. The document typically includes comprehensive details about asset division, financial responsibilities, and property rights, while ensuring compliance with Irish constitutional provisions and family law legislation. It requires independent legal advice for both parties and full financial disclosure to enhance its standing in court. The agreement can be executed either before marriage (prenuptial) or during marriage (postnuptial), though prenuptial agreements are more common for establishing clear intentions before marital rights accrue.
