Marital agreement

A marital agreement is an agreement between spouses about the distribution of their property and assets, different from what the Norwegian Marriage Act have decided.

The Norwegian Marriage Act contains certain formal requirements for the marital agreement to be valid. Our office can assist with drawing up a marital agreement after the legal formal requirements.

If the marital agreement shall be protected against creditors it must be registered in the Register of Marriage Settlements.

The marital agreement can be concluded either as a pre-nuptial agreement or as a post-nuptial agreement.

Divorce

Usually the properties and assets are divided between the spouses. But very often the divorce settlement becomes complicated and the need for legal assistance is advisable before starting the settlement proceedings.

Cohabition agreement

When two people live together without being married, they are not protected by the same legislation as a married couple. We therefore highly recommend non-marital cohabitates to enter into an agreement to make provisions with respect to their financial relations.

Breakdown of non-marital cohabitation

Settlements during breakdown of non-marital cohabitations are not regulated by legislation in the same way as divorce. As a general rule, the parties acquire what they own.

The settlement after such break ups is often complicated and conflicted. It´s therefore recommended to seek legal assistance before agreeing on settlement.

In case of divorce or break up it is important to agree in the custody proceedings. The children can live with one parent, and have the right to spend time with the other parent. It can be difficult to agree on how this should be organized. According to The Children Act, the child’s best interest shall be crucial in this decision.
