The conclusion of marriage contracts, as well as many other things, has come to us from the West. Wide soul to slavic natures it is not pleasant to much, but the conclusion of such contract – business voluntary. As marriage is often original transaction with which help someone corrects the financial position, and someone gets necessary moral advantages, it can be settled rules. By the way, in Europe and America in it for a long time any more do not see anything reprehensible. Even if at the future spouses anything is not present, it is supposed, that they will live somewhere (for example, in the apartment bought on credit, at parents, etc.), somehow to earn, and look, years through 10 at divorce the serious quarrel as now all in common acquired to divide will inflame.
To settle all these aspects, and there is a marriage contract. The family code of Ukraine operating since January, 2004, allows to conclude that contract at any time: before the introduction into marriage, at the moment of registration of marriage and after its registration. Concluded to the introduction into marriage the marriage contract will be valid only in the event that signed his faces really become spouses. The contract consists in writing and is subject to notarial assurance.
In case of absence of the marriage contract at divorce all property of spouses shares fifty-fifty.

The sum (in absolute or percentage expression) which the husband will spend for the maintenance of the former wife and minor children In the same place is underlined. It is necessary to settle an order of a loan of money resources and other actives and to provide an order of full repayment of the general debts in case of divorce, for example, the hypothecary.
Variants of section of the property, registered in marriage contracts, there can be a great variety, and all of them have the right to existence. A radical variant – when one of spouses takes away all property belonging to it, and the second remains with what, as well as was to the introduction into marriage, or tolerant: section 50/50. Treaty provisions can be changed during marriage – such changes are made out in the form of notarially certified additional agreement. On request of one of spouses, the marriage contract, can be terminated and the court decision if for this purpose there are essential bases. The only thing that it is forbidden to stipulate in the marriage contract, is section and education of children. Such contract urged to settle only property relations in family.
