Document background
The Adultery Prenuptial Agreement is a specialized legal document used in the Philippines by couples planning to marry who wish to establish clear property rights and consequences in the event of adultery. This document is particularly significant in the Philippine context where adultery is both a ground for legal separation and a criminal offense. The agreement typically includes detailed provisions for property division, financial consequences, and procedural requirements in cases of proven adultery, while ensuring compliance with Philippine family law, the Civil Code, and criminal statutes. It's essential for couples with substantial assets or business interests who want additional protection beyond standard marriage laws, though all provisions must align with Philippine public policy and moral considerations. The document must be executed before marriage and requires proper legal counsel and notarization to be valid.
