Nick Manners, Partner and Head of the Payne Hicks Beach Family department, comments for Spear’s on the value of reconciliation contracts which have been thrown into the spotlight after the u-turn divorce of golfer, Rory McIlory, and his wife, Erica Stoll, weeks after the announcement of their separation on the eve of the PGA Championship at Valhalla in Louisville.
With the end of divorce proceedings ahead of the start of the US Open, Rory and his wife, Erica, are looking forward to a ‘new beginning’ as a family on confirming they ‘resolved their differences’. Although it is unknown whether McIlory and Stoll took out a reconciliation contract or, as family lawyers term, a ‘post-nuptial agreement’, their divorce u-turn highlights the value these particular agreements can provide to high net worth individuals.
