What is a marriage contract — basic concepts and advantages
A marriage contract is an official written agreement between spouses or persons planning to marry, which allows them to regulate property relations differently than provided for in the Family Code of Ukraine.
It allows you to clearly define:
- which property will be personal and which will be joint;
- how income and debts will be distributed, and who will bear what responsibilities after marriage.
Advantages — protection of assets, regulated financial obligations, reduction of disputes during divorce.

A marriage contract in Ukraine allows spouses to clearly regulate property relations and avoid conflicts in the event of divorce.

What can be included in a marriage contract — provisions to consider
The agreement may include:
- property regime — what is considered personal and what is considered joint property;
- the procedure for dividing property in the event of divorce;
- the conditions for supporting one of the spouses after divorce;
- the use of housing or property during the marriage;
- the conditions for using gifted or inherited property.
By law, it is not possible to stipulate conditions relating to personal or intimate aspects, household duties, restrictions on the rights of children or violations of moral norms.
How to change or terminate a marriage contract — legal procedures
Changes to the contract are only possible with the consent of both parties — and such changes must also be notarised. Unilateral changes are only possible through the courts if there are valid grounds. If the spouses decide to terminate the agreement, they must apply to a notary with a joint statement; if the parties do not agree, legal proceedings may be initiated.
