Going through a divorce or separation can be challenging enough for anyone – but for business owners there’s also a company to run and protect, which your soon-to-be-ex partner may feel they’re entitled to claim a share of.
As a business owner, you will want to protect your business, and a prenuptial agreement that clearly sets out how your personal and business assets will be divided if you were to divorce in the future, is the most effective way to do so.
Choosing to use a surrogate or to be a surrogate, is a decision that’s both exciting and legally complex. When considering or entering into a surrogacy arrangement, it’s important to understand that UK surrogacy law automatically recognises the person who gives birth (the surrogate) as the legal parent and they will be named on the birth certificate.
