It consists of an article that would amend art. 1217 of the Civil Code, which does not allow this type of agreement.
The project generated controversy among lawyers, but those in favor argue that this type of agreement is necessary for reconstituted families with children and that it is not common among couples.
This project has been transformed into a law and it leads to savings in economic terms in the divorce, as well as protects the interests of the children from a previous marriage.
Senator Giusti clarified in a radio show that this agreement is not compulsory, but optional, so that, whoever is against it and agrees with the way we currently divide the marital property in divorce can give up on the prenuptial agreement.
Similar legislation applies in countries such as USA, Mexico, France, Brazil and Chile. Many lawyers hope that this bill becomes a law, as it would be of great help for all the marriages which are generally held at an age when one or both members of the couple have a certain heritage.
Surely, this type of contract does not go for girls in premarital couples, who marry at the age of 20 and have to build everything together. For those who get married later and have a heritage, such as the experience of a divorce and children. This way, the agreement can work as an estate instrument.
