Agreements pre and post matrimonial. Concepts and models of regulation

Abstract

The present work presents the way in which pre and post nuptial agreements are regulated in different ways, resulting in models as the outcome from analyzing systems from both continental and common law tradition. Thus, we describe models of enacted law as is the case in Catalonia; models without positive recognition, namely the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Spain, and finally models that can be called mixed, reviewing the regulation and precedents in the EE.UU. and Germany.
