As Catherin Baksi points out in The Times, it’s 10 years now since the famous decision in Radmacher v Granatino made pre-nuptial agreements an essential part of the family lawyers’ toolkit. And the sea change in culture since has been momentous.
Back in 2010 there was: no One Couple One Lawyer, no family law arbitration scheme, no private FDR, and no obligation to consider non-court dispute resolution whatsoever.
All of that has changed. The message of Radmacher has been well heeded: do what you can to avoid court.
