Unless your a lawyer, you probably don't really know much about prenuptial agreements. For example, did you know that prenuptial agreements that "promote divorce" are unenforceable? Or that you can't put anything in your prenup about religion, child custody, and damages for cheating? Before you try to take a wack at filing your own prenup, learn what you can and can't do.

There is a movement in family law whereby divorcing couples can sign agreements with lawyers to not go to court. More specifically, the process is known as Collaborative Family Law (CFL) and the agreement to not go to court is binding upon the lawyers, not the couple. If one or both clients are unsatisfied, either may still march the dispute to court. They will however have to find new lawyers.

Divorce within Religion

There is no religion that supports divorce. Marriage – for all – is holy. But the divorce rate among atheists is lower than those who actively practise a religion in the UK. In a social attitudes survey in 2006, some 33% stated that religion is very important to them. 17% claimed that it is the single most important factor in their lives. Why are more than a third of the marriages conducted every year ending in divorce? Has religion failed to bind people together by inculcating a belief in the tradition of marriage strongly enough? Only a concept that can withstand the test of time will stay. The question is which concept is being put to test here – religion or marriage? Given that so many people still feel so strongly about their religion, the loser is probably marriage. This is supported by the increase in the number of cohabitating couples, and the fact that the Office of National Statistics showed a record low in the number of marriages in 2005. Once again, cohabitation is not allowed in most religions. Perhaps, the only answer to this riddle is that people are beginning to view marriage and religion as separate issues in their lives, applying religious teachings selectively to their personal viewpoints.

It wasn’t his fault; she had an affair, and she went away with someone who would suit her better. He knows it. And he has two choices – he can live with that knowledge and grow by it, or he can wallow in the self-pity generated by that knowledge.
