E
27:32Elena PerepechkinaGUEST
called marriage contract but actually it can be both a prenup so the marriage contract can be concluded before the registration of the marriage but it will enter into force right after the marriage is registered uh or it can be uh concluded during the marriage and after the dissolution of marriage after the divorce the spouses still can make an agreement, but it's not called the marriage contract, but the agreement on division of property.
E
28:09Elena PerepechkinaGUEST
So in the marriage contract, which is quite popular nowadays, and it's getting more and more common, in the marriage contract, the spouses can change this 50-50 presumption.
E
28:22Elena PerepechkinaGUEST
And they are quite free in deciding how they want their property issues to be resolved.
E
28:35Elena PerepechkinaGUEST
So they can change the property regime either for some certain types of property or certain items or they can provide for separate property regime.
E
28:48Elena PerepechkinaGUEST
They also can provide for some spousal support in the marriage contract.
