Prenuptial deals better than family law system

SENATOR Fergal Browne of Fine Gael is to be commended for raising the question of the status of prenuptial agreements.

Those who get married are presumed to be sane, mature and fully informed as to the implications of the marriage contract.

Consequently, they should be capable of deciding for themselves the terms of their marriage, including the parenting, financial, property and other issues that will arise should they decide to end it at any future date.
