Document background
A Nuptial Agreement After Marriage (post-nuptial agreement) in the Philippines is utilized when married couples wish to establish, modify, or clarify their property relations after their wedding has taken place. This type of agreement becomes particularly relevant when spouses want to change their property regime, clarify ownership of specific assets, or establish clear guidelines for property management and division. The document must strictly comply with Philippine family law, particularly the Family Code of the Philippines and related civil law provisions. It requires proper notarization and may need court approval in certain circumstances. The agreement can cover various aspects including property classification, debt responsibility, business interests, and inheritance considerations, but must not contain provisions that could be considered contrary to law, morals, good customs, public order, or public policy in the Philippine jurisdiction.
