ELI5— what this means for you

A marriage settlement (prenup) must be made before the marriage ceremony — it cannot be signed on the wedding day itself or after. It must also be in writing and notarized to be valid.

Official text — EO 209

The future spouses may, in the marriage settlements, agree upon the regime of absolute community, conjugal partnership of gains, complete separation of property, or any other regime. In the absence of a marriage settlement, or when the regime agreed upon is void, the system of absolute community of property as established in this Code shall govern. (119a)
