Firstly they have announced their separation not their divorce. When asked about divorce they have both said nothing has been decided yet but they have separated.
Secondly prenumptual agreements, as yet, are not enforceable under english law, therefore regardless of any other reasons they may have had for not wanting a prenup, since they were married in England there would be no point in signing up to an unenforceable agreement.

I would think a celebrity like Paul could work around the English no-prenup thing... still I think it shows a great amount of trust...
even if she is significantly younger than he is and you have to wonder what her motives are... *shrugs*

Piel said:I don't think she has any motives. She wanted to sign a prenup but he wouldn't let her. I, OTOH have lots of motives.
At his point I think Paul would just be hoping for whatever is best for the kids and her. And the money I am sure really isn't that much of an issue, as well the "nup" would only be based on what has incurred in the time they were together which she would be entitle to some simple due to being a "help" in what he has done over the past - what, 7 years I think. His "fortune" has made the largest increases over that period likely due to the relationship.
Not a friend of Paul's, yet I am sure he would say there was no need for one because he would never deny her of anything that they earned together anyway. He is no Elton John

Piel - but if she knew that prenups mean nothing in England... she'd be willing to sign because she'd probably get it thrown out anyway 
At least I'd think about it that way lol
yes I can be sneaky sometimes

The enforceability of many agreements (not just pre-nups or post-nups) depend on where the contract is to be performed/executed -- which would be where they lived, or maybe, where are getting separated/divorced. So, English law would probably control over Irish law.

Just Heard the song "Junk" (awesome song) and could help but think that lyrics of the "items" in the song were
.. blank pre-nup,
'cause I fell in love,
shattered reality,
don't see the bill
'til I clear the hill,
and the roll is not for free.
Sorry I hope you all found humor in that - my mind doesn't usually think "gutterish" like that and I love Paul!

Technically in Enlgand a choice of law and jurisdiction clause overrides any legal presumption as to the laws applying to it, with the exception of land. The reason why i think prenups cause a problem in the UK is because divorce proceedings are a legal issue that take place in the country where you are married therefore if you had a e.g. US law and jurisdiction clause in it you'd have to settle all the legalities of the divorce in the UK, then take proof of that to the US courts to settle the prenup which would be costly etc etc (though celebrities this isn't much of an issue). If they were married in Ireland then their marriage would be subject to Irish law (assuming all the things they signed were Irish marriage documents) regardless where they live.

I know in the US (which got most of its contract law from the British common law), a contract has to include a specific choice of law or jurisdiction clause; otherwise, jurisdiction exists in (among other places) where the contract is to be performed. Also, do you know where in Ireland they were married -- or if Ireland has any laws governing the marriages of "foreigners"?

I'm not familiar enough with the legal system in Ireland (or matrimonial law for that matter!) to know if there are any special rules governing the marriage of foreigners. Don't know where they were married either but i oresume that there would be a difference if it was northern Ireland or the republic of Ireland.
