    The spouse gets everything unless you have a will that says otherwise. Always best to have a will.

    Prenuptial agreements are no longer binding upon the divorce courts interior the united kingdom. If it quite is been a quick marriage without toddlers in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, it quite is possibly that the courts will take the words of the pre nup into attention. With short childless marriages it quite is now unusual for the poorer better half to stroll away with an incredible sort of money basically from having been married for a pair of years - the sources that are split between them are those outfitted up in the time of the courting. A better half probably consequently won't lose a million/2 of the fortune they made in the previous they even met their better half. If there are young toddlers in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, all bets are off as their pastimes come first. they might desire to be wisely housed and cared for thus if the spouse is taking good care of the toddlers then she would desire to get 50% or much greater if mroe is had to domicile the toddlers.

    If the man died, and the spouse and kids lived, the spouse would automatically receive everything.

    But you should have a living will just in case. That will always have the final say.
