Featuring speakers Francesca King from Italy, Katja Ziehe from Switzerland, Suzan Aiken from California and Cath Karlin from Scotland, the session covered a wide range of issues relating to nuptial agreements. These included the drafting process and provisions for spousal and child maintenance, how a nuptial agreement can be varied, and whether they remain binding upon a couple’s divorce.
