Cases where a court may ignore a reconciliation treaty include cases in which it was signed under duress or coercion where one or both parties did not disclose their property and circumstances, prior to its signature, if the Tribunal considers that the conditions were not fair to both parties, or if one or both parties did not have access to legal assistance before signing. Obligations are often set that one or both parties undertake to respect in order to save the marriage, such as for example. B the fight against antisocial, addictive or destructive habits and behaviours. It will also contain the financial conditions of the division if the attempt at conciliation fails and if the divorce occurs, the non-compliance with the above-mentioned commitments being at the origin of the realization of such a scenario. „The court should implement a marriage contract freely concluded by each party with a full appreciation of its effects, unless, in the prevailing circumstances, it is not fair to keep the parties to their agreement.“ Radmacher then challenged the decision and his appeal was upheld by the Court of Appeal, which ruled that the High Court did not give sufficient importance to the agreement. Granatino appealed to the Supreme Court to overturn Radmacher`s appeal, but his complaint was dismissed by an eight-to-one charge. The Chief Justice, Lord Phillips, ruled that the agreement would be concluded on condition that, if the above conditions are not met, divorce proceedings will be initiated. This is different from traditional post-marital agreements, typically made by a married couple who, at this stage, are not considering divorce, but want to be cautious in agreeing on how their money and wealth will be distributed if they separate in the future. Each case is unique and will take on its own challenges. The characteristic feature of a reconciliation treaty is that it probably requires some imaginative and pragmatic solutions. From now on, the parties must live together as husband and wife. Any legal inheritance or property rights will be fully restored.
The Parties agree that, within ten days from the date of this Agreement, the Parties shall examine their wills and wills, if any, and, if necessary, amend them to comply with the intent of this Agreement. As with all other types of marriage and inheritance contracts, reconciliation contracts are not automatically binding and can be challenged by any spouse. However, it is more likely today than ever that the courts will maintain a contract, especially after radmacher`s pioneering case against Granatino in 2010 (see section below). It can therefore be expected that reconciliation agreements will become increasingly popular in the UK in the coming years. The specific purpose of a reconciliation treaty is to give marriage another chance and to allow both parties to settle their differences before divorce. The parties had a full opportunity to consult with legal and other advisors of their choice and to verify the terms of this agreement with their advisors. Divorces can be incredibly painful and extremely expensive, so a reconciliation contract can give the couple one last chance to avoid such inconveniences. A reconciliation treaty is a contract that is entered into after marriage and is usually entered into where a marriage is „in the hot seat“ and the parties want to try to get the relationship back on track. The parties shall endeavour to dispel any fears they may have with the behaviour of the other (e.g. B adulterous or addictive behavior) and explain how each of them will treat these behaviors and try to improve things for their relationship. The contract also defines what will happen if these parties fail in their efforts and what the distribution of assets will be at the time of separation if the vote fails.. .
