    Martin Lewis covered pre-nups in his show earlier this year. Unsure if the episode is still available to watch.

    There are differences depending on what part of the UK you live in. If in England they may be taken into account in the event of a split, but other factors may come into it to, including length of marriage, any children, any other assets.

    So if it was a long marriage you wouldnt be able to ringfence your share forevermore if that then meant there wasnt enough available assets for your OH in the event of a split.
