You can enter into a Colombian prenuptial agreement to protect assets which were acquired in the past, and which will be acquired in the future. Prenuptial Agreements in Colombia can be applied to both civil unions and regular marriages. Even if your assets are not in Colombia, they could be in serious jeopardy in the event of a divorce or liquidation of a Civil Union, so you should strongly consider a prenuptial agreement if foreign assets are a concern. These agreements if worderd correctly will protect you from alimony payments as well.

Please note that after only 2 years of living in the same house as your partner in Colombia, your relationship automatically qualifies as a Civil Union in Colombia and your partner could be legally entitled to your assets, similar to a regular marriage. This also applies to homosexual and lesbian couples. We can assist you with the whole colombian prenuptial agreement process.
